.,

Editorial Yes, it's editorial time again. Isn't it amazing that although we will never run out of articles for NEXUS, I find myself scratching to come up with yet another editorial that will make you all think I'm witty, sharming, intelligent and clever.

I do have some news, though, now that I'm into the flow of writing again.

I recently completed a whirlwind trip to our overseas offices. A week behind the computer at our US office just south of Chicago, a day at our Dutch office (followed by some time exploring Amsterdam), a week behind the computer at our UK office just out oj London, and a few days taking in the sacred sites and crop circle gurus of the English countryside (see article on page 29).

I am continually amazed at just how much the public want NEXUS in all those countries and more. We now have an Italian edition being published and are negotiating with people in Spain, France and Germany for editions in their respective languages. On top of that, we will be printing upwards of 25,000 in the UK, starting with the Dec'95-jan'96 edition. We are already printing 18,000 copies for the USA-Canada market, plus 45,000 copies for the Australia-New Zealand market, and that is still not enough!

What is even more startling is that every time NEXUS gets attacked through the media, our sales go up yet again! Thank you!

This edition is also the issue where I let readers know that NEXUS magazine has a stall at the various alternative expos being held in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and London. This is your opportunity to pick up some back issues, books or videos at special rates, plus renew your subscription for another year.

I also need to apologise to those people who are still waiting for NEXUS OnLine! to reincarnate to its proper status. We had a hard-drive meltdown a few months ago, and this, combined with two or three deadlines, really set us behind schedule-but we are getting there... Meantime, feel free to use it as a BBS. See details on the advert in this edition.

Now, to a few of the articles. First up, I want you all to read the article linking earthquakes to nuclear tests. There is more to this article than the obvious link which everyone suspects. Is it possible that nuclear bomb tests have been deliberately carried out to reduce the number of really big quakes? These 'killer quake' numbers have dropped tremendously since bomb-testing began, though the number of smaller quakes have increased in both frequency and location. The link between bomb tests and changes in the Earth's magnetic field is also discussed.

We are also pleased to publish in this issue, an update on the cluster of mysterious pyramid structures in China.

Meanwhile, everyone using sugar-substitute sweeteners had better read the article beginning on page 25 of this issue. I know that good NEXUS readers don't use them anyway, but you may have friends or relatives who may want to know what they are really consuming. It is not pretty!

Finally, if the article about AM radiowaves causing brain cancer doesn't drive you out of those fluoride-infested cities, then nothing will.

Dare I say it, happy reading!

Re: Unleaded Petrol Dear Duncan: Congratulations on publisbing the excellent article, '!ivied "The Lies of Unleaded Petrol" (part 1) (April-May '95). There are a couple of considerations in the whole argument about leaded/unleaded petrol which have been ignored by the media (or perhaps we should say proscribed by the media bosses).

One is that it takes more oil to produce a given quantity of unleaded petrol than it does for thc same amount of leaded rpetrol. This means that the oil companies have to produce more oil and, Ireluctantly, make more money.

Leaded vehides [un quite satisfactorily (and more efficiently) on "Gasohol"-a blend of unleaded petrol and ethanol. Two years ago I wrote to th.e Democrats in Parliament Hou.se on thc virtues of gasohol alJd received a reply from Sell. CouLter who said, in effect, that he already knew all about gasohol and the Democrats would be pushing fOF its introduction. Howcvcr, nothing seems to have happened in this regard. Could it be that the oil companies are blocking its introduction so that they can maximise oil production? (Had the Dcmocraots pushed the issue hard and Iioud it may Ihave slowed the migration of tlleir vouers to the Greens,) A second' consideration concerns the carcinogenic qualities of additives to unLeaded !fuel and the article discusses this in detail. However, an aspect rarely brougllt out is that the drug companies are arms of tile petrochemical transnationalls.

Logically, it is good business to produce products which make people sick because thcir drug companies will later make a fortune selling courses of expensive (and futile) drugs. Is it unreasonable to believe that the petrochemical cartels have done cost-benefH analyses along these lines?

Regards, Ron H., Tweed Heads, NSW, Australia.

Re: Gulf War Syndrome Dear Editor: A number of souroes have reported that vaccines and immunis.ations received by US soldiers are the chief suspected cillprits for the Gulf War Syndrome.

The concept of a vaccine is to stimulate a person's immune system to become stronger by subje.cting it to a weak assault, In an environment which has deteriorated to a state where immune systems are working ove.rtime to maintain health, the vaccination approach may no longer be a good idea. Since sources of stress 4 • NEXUS

accumulate, a c.ertain vaccination may be the straw that breaks the camd's back, resulting in an immune-system defiei.ency instead of a stronger immune system.

In the case of the Gulf War veterans, vaccinations may only be a component of ~he prohlem because veterans not s\lbjected to experimental US vaccines are also experiencing the GWS, according ,to an editor's note following "Gullf War Guinea Pigs" (NEXUS, April-May '95).

A possible contributor to the GWS may be friendly fire from an electronic battlefield which so zapped the Iraqi troop's that they showed no fighting ability at all. lin addition, Defense News (April 13-19, 1992) reported that an EMP weapon designed to mimic the flash of electricity from a nuclear explosion was used in the Gulf War. Another indication of an adverse encrgy environment, reported 'by USA Today (May 26, 1994), indicated that 14,000 detectors designed ito sense hostile chemicals. and biological substances sounded up to three times a day during the war, while secondary verification procedures were unable to confirm the presence of such agents. Since the GWS has AIDS-like characteristics, it might be recalled that a declining immune system which first affected signHicantnumbers of people was associated with surviving the immediate effects of radiation from an atomic blast.

Besides avoiding subjecting people to adverse environments, it may be desiJabJe to consider techniques otheF than vaccines to strengthen the immune system=like the example mentiolled in "Paramagnetic ELF Forces" (Acre!, USA, April 1995).

Apparently a Jewish nigh priest during the time of Ghrist would wear a long ribbon of cloth (wool-linen or burlap), called! a Shatnez, soaked in sea water, so that he could safely examine lepers. Tlhe Shatnez prevented the disease from being kindled in the high priest by aluering the flow of energy.

Re: Spiritual Service

Dear Duncan: Recently I rcad in a book that only 20 per cent of what Jesus said in the Bible he actually said. One of the things he did not say is "I am the 'fruth, the Way, and the life. The only way to the Father is through Me".

If this research is true and accurate, I don't think it willi circulate far in

the Christian' commu~ity. Is it not interesting that Ipeople believe the truth only if it doesn't interfere with what they want to beJieve?

Instead of worshipping and praying cndlessly, ~ have a spiritual method where I project with my mind and soul the best love, intelligence and creativity I have to all. life in the Universe to contribute to the Universe instead of being parasitic om it the way mankind has been till now.

How m;wy other people do this? I would like to know. ~ believe this method of spiritual service will be the coming thing in th.e new age.

Yours sincerel¥, Gordon R., Christchurch, New Zealand.

(Dear Gord.on: I dOll't belieJle mankind is parasitic, any more than a child sucking on its mother's breast is. Mankind is young, growing and leaming. Your contribution to the UniJlerse, though, is the reason I chose your lener to publish. Thank you, and keep it up' Ed.)

I ~

your child's life.

H you feell vaccination is not for your children, don't be !bulldozed or intimidated by health providers.

Remembcr, they are being paid a $6 incentive for each child they recruit.

Perhaps the well-being oli our children will be sevaside because of Ithis monetary exercis.e.

TheJe is also another asp.ect to all this. According to Federal Health Department publications, not all practitioners store vaccines correctly, and quite often the "cold chain" is not maintained. Also, many"doctors inject into the wrong site, do not diagnose contraindications or misdiagn.osc those symptoms which are not "true contrajndications. This d~oes not exactly engend.eJ eunfidence in an already [a'ltering health service.

So I say to all responsible 'parents, read all you can, soak up information like a sponge, ,then make this all· important decision. Your children's health, development and well-being will rely on this.

phones were perfectly safe-be hiding then? They'll keep on denying any links to tumours until the ,evidence becomes unavoidably overwhelming. But by that time the nuwber of dead people will also be overwhelming.

But what's so laughably stupid is that those money-hungry vested interests have to live on this planet too. Their actions would only make sense if their greedy ways were directed at a civilisation far enough removed for them never to be in personal danger of cellular radiation themselves. Remind you of the French?

While the phone wars continue and we take to ·thes~ electronic phaliic symbols li.ke bees to honey, there are two ways you can reduce your personal risk while using a mobile.

Either purchase a transportable phone which wiH keep the antenna several feet away from your head, or purc.hase an earphone kit for your handheld. This elever idea is available for selected mobiles and it allows you to plug a corded earphone/microphone into your mobile, allowil\g you to talk with the phone in your hand or pocket or belt.

Beware digital phones. The-ir power is much greater than analogue (2 watts versus 0.6 walts), allhough they only develop full power ,in bursts during speech mode.

In the last year, a Brisbane newspaper carried a one-paragraph story claiming that a Brisbane university was developing a shielded cellular antenna "for fcar it can create brain cancer". Nothing has been heard since. Makes you wonder what we're not being told.

Most instruction manuals for mohiles carry a warning not to operate them within several feet of other people. But what about the poor operator? Doesn't he cO.unt? And anyway, if there's no radiation problem, why the warning? And isn't this warping an admission of guilt?

The future looks bleak!

COMET HALE-BOPP, FOR THE NON-ASTRONOMER

AUSTRALIAN ASSEliS GO UNDER THE HAMMER In the past six weeks, AUD$lOA billion of Australian assets have been quietlly handed Qver to .foreign interests, with hardly a mention in the media!

The sen-off includes: • 25% of Qantas to British Airways, plus another '1.7% to foreign investors in a recent AUD$lA5 billion float; • Pacific Dunlop's food operations to the Swiss and the US for AUD$].06 billion; • one of Victoria's major electricjty distribution corporations for AUD$1.85 billion; • Australia's second largest life insurance company, National Mutual, to French group AXA for A'UD$1.6 billion; • building and plastics company l3TR Nylex to the British for a reoord! $4.5 billion; • plus a bundle of commercial and residential properties.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics refuses to publish the official measure of the level of foreign investment across the different industry sectors, bu'!

The orbit of this, comet is of a long period-approximately 3,250 years. It has travelled through the inner solar system before-;t!lat ,is, it is not a new comet from the Oort Cloud. Its orbit is a very Igng, ,stretched-out ellipse, and tl'ie"comet is part of our solar system in orbit around our Sun. Com.et Hale-Bopp is expected to reach its closest point to the Sun (perihelion) at 1504 hours lITC on I st April 1991 (hO fooling i). At that time it will be about 0.9U astronomical units from the Sun (one AU = about 93 rn.lUion miles or 1150 million kilon:Leters-the distance between the Sun and the Earth), or roughly 85 million miles (137 million kilometers) from the Sun. This is non a !particularly close approach to the Sun, ibut any comet that comes within ~ AU of the SlIn has a chance of putting on a nice show.

The comet will make its closest approach to the Earth on 23rd March 1997. At that time it will be more than 120 million miles (194 million kilometers) from Earth-not even a very close approach! W.iII the comet 'cross' the Earth's orbit? Well, yes and no... The comet will come closer to the Sun than the Earth, but it will never actually physically cross any point in space that is occupied by the Earth-so it can't hit the Earth!

The comet will be best seen from tbe southern !hemisphere (and lower north.ern Ilatitudes) except when it is expected to be at ,its brightest. In March and April 1997 it will only be easily visible from the northern hemisphere.

There have been reports that ,this comet is very large. ActuaUy, the Ineart of the comet-the nucleus-is obscured by the dust and gas that forms the head of the comet. Nobody knows how large the nucleus ,is. We can't see it! The nuclei of cornets range in size from a few miles (kilometers) or smaller, to over 100 miles (160 kilometers) in diameter. Tire brightness of the comet is not always directly related to the size of the nucJeus. This is because, typically, only a fraction of the surfaoe of a comet's nucleus is active.

This new politically correct version, published by Oxford University Press, says children should not "obey" theil' parents but "heed" them; wives are no longer "subject" to their husbands but "committed" to them; "darkness" is no longer equated with ·evil because of its racist ovcrtones; and the Lord's P-rayer now begins with "Our Father-Mother in Heaven".

References to the "right hand of God" are also deleted, eliminating possible embarrassment to left-handed people. It now becomes "God's mighty hand".

AUENS (NOT BIG BANG) CREATED OUR UNIVERSE? An amazing article published in the September 1995 issue of the quarterly journaL of the Royal Astronomical Society is seriously exploring the notion that our universe may have been createdl by beings of superior intelligence Ii ving in another universe.

Consider thc following from the news r~lease: "... Modern cosmology has reached the stage where this form of creation is a strong possibili-

••• ty. Perhaps highly intelligent bcings in our universe, such as our desc-endants in the far future, will also create universes. Plausibly the creation of universes is the natural co~ sequence of life evolving to a very high level of intelligence."

W,l1y is our universe so ca,refully designed the way it is? Because it was created by ,intelligent beings basically similar to us. The universe they occupied was compatible with their existence and therefore finely -tuned and basically similar toOUf own universe. Our universe inherits the characteristics of its parent Uhiverse except for small random or designed genetic variations ill the values of the fundamental constants.

The article, titled "The Natural Selection of Universes Containing Intelligent Life", suggests that "the creation of our universe was not a mysterious supernatural event by a supreme being beyond human comprehension, but a natural event caused by superior beings (angels) essentially similar Ito ourselves and henc'c comprehensible."

The new smart card licence does everything from starting your ear Ito ensuring you pass an aLcoh.ol breath-test each time you drive.

Computer-linked to police stations, the new licen.ce will make use of onboard computers to alLow poNce to shut down the ignition systems of stolen cars, cars with outstanding flnes or warrants and cars out of registration.

The system operates through a computer installed in the car and run by the electronic driver's licence (EDL) encoded with the driver's specific deta.ils.

Car keys, steering locks and ignitions will all be replaced by a card-reader about the same size as a car sterco.

In the future, when you go to get into your car, Ithe computer will first check that the driver's licence details on the card are

valid and pre-programmed for driving that car. This check is performed twice, once when you go to open the car door, and once when you put tme card into the computer to start Ithe car. The car will not start if the computer rejects the card.

According to the developers, you can even stipulate that thc car won't start until the driver has lPassed an alcohol or drug test-with a test unit about the size of .an electric shaver installed in the glove box of the cars of convicted offenders.

The licence will also store persona~ medical details so as to provide information to police or ambulance officers in case of an accidcnt or when 'needed'.

Chronic water shortages already affect 40% of the world's population in 80 countrics, and the situation will become far worse with an expanding population and a growing demand for water.

The main constraint on food production in the developing world has been a shortage of land, but it would be a scarcity of water in the future, as a World Sank study ha.s found.

Global demand for water is increasing by 2.3% a year, doubling every 21 years.

It is estimated that a billion people in the world today do not have access to clean drinking water, and almost as many again lack adequate sanitation.

• •• ALIEN ABDUCTIONS OOCTOR SURVIVES CLOSE [ENCOUNTER! Harvard University psychiatrist Dr John E. Mack, Pulitzer Prizewinner and author of the best-selling book, Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens, has survived a gruelling year-long academic panel investigation into his research methods.

The peer-review committee was set up to establish whether Dr Mack had tried to treat rather than merely study individuals claiming to have been abducted by and even sexually experimented upon by alien beings. Considering Ithat psychiatrists are trained to counsel patients in therapeutic settings, the need for this sort of review is rather odd.

Could it be that the issue at stake is more academic control versus freedom, rather than the welfare of people who genuinely believe in the reality of their abduction experiences?

The Mack attack was unfounded, and the Harvard Medical School has upheld his freedom "to study what he wishes and to state his conclusions without impediment".

Dr Mack has is'sued no comment on the ruling, and the panel has made no statement about the validity or otherwise of the abductees' experiences.

Mainstream psychiatry stili might n.ot take the abduction phenomenon seriously, but at least Dr Mack can look forward to continuing his work without too much Earthly har.assment.

CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THE FDA Tlhe Life Exten,sion Foundation has engaged an Illinois attorney to file a classaction suit against the FDA, Chicago branch, on behalf of a growing number of people who have had "unapproved" drugs (vitamins, herbs, mineral supplements), ordered for personal uSe, illegally detained by the FDA. The suit is justified on the basis that the FDA's official public policy pe[JJljts individuals to import small amounts of unapproved drugs and substances for personal use without fear of reprisal.

The action against the FDA's Chicago branch is pan of a larger pUbli'c outcry against FDA excesses in general, especially with respect to alternative medicine where it too often takes an armed Gestapo approach to regulation.

In fact, the mounting evidence suggests it is far from safe. The FDA has received more adverse reaction reports for Prozac ~han for any other product in the last 24 years.

The FDA doesn't want anyone Ito know that as far back as September 1993 it had received 28,623 reports of adverse reactions to the dfrug. This is 10 times tile number reported for Halcion, another psychiatric drug tha~ was eventually banned in the UK, but not in the USA. The adverse reactions to Prozac include convulsions, nallucinations, aggression, delirium, violent hostility and psychosis.

Add to this the reports of 1,885 attempted suicides and 1,734 deaths (1,089 by suicides), and Prozac's rea~ story emerges.

' T

his paper is an attempt. to undetsta~d distribut,ions, patterns and directio~s of large earthquakes of RIchter magnItude (M) greater than or equa~ t06 (>=6) since 1900. Secondly, attempts will be made to relate such large earthquakes to the patterns of nuclear testing. Such' testing is conducted by the United States (USA), the [former] Soviet Union (USSR), France, the United Kingdom (UK) and China.

Emphasis was p'laced on earthquakes of M>=6 because these are the ones that cause considerable property damage and/or killl hundreds of people in short perio~s of time.

Further, the data was more fQanageabre when such magnitude earthquakes were considered. For ex.ample, there are between 5,000 to 7,000 earthq1,lakc-s of M>=4.5 each year around the world, whereas in any 'given year since 1900, the highest number of earthquakes M>=6 was 214 (in 1957). As the magnitude threshold is lowered, many thousands more small events must be screened.

Earthquakes have always been part of the Earth's geologic history. On the other hand, nuclear testing only began in earnest in i 951. In 1963, such testing was moved undergmund. The greatest recorded earthquake death toll of 830,000 was in Shaanxi, China, in 1556. The worst in this cent.ury was on 28th July 1976 when the north-eastern Chinese city of Tangshan was leveIred and about 800,000 people were 'hUed. That quake measured M7.8. Coincidentally, five days Ibefore the quake (23rd July), tile French detorrared a nuclear bomb in the South Pacific Mururoa Atoll, and, one day before (27th Jury), the USA detonated a.nuclear Ibomb oJ 20-150 kilotons (KT) at ,the Nevada test site.

The nuclear era began on 16th July 1945 when "Trinity" was dropped 100 feet from a tower near Alamogordo, New Mexico. The yield was 19 KT of TNT equivalent. Soon after this test, on 5th and 9t.b August, the .15-KT nuclear device, "Little Boy", was dropped on Hiroshima, and the 21-KT "Fat Man" was dropped on Nagasaki, endjng World War II. Since 1945, the major powers have cxploded a total of over 1,800 nuclear bombs (through March 1'989). An average of close to 50 underground nuclear tests have taken place each year since 1980. There is little doubt that planet Earth is under severe environmental stress. It is not getting any better.

Recently the prestigious env,ironmental research group, the Worldwatch Institute, issued their latest State of the World report which shows that the world is being pushed to the brink. "We are losing at this point, clearly losing the battle to save the planet," said the report's chief author, Lester Brown. The impending result, he warned, "will shake the world to its foundation". Ozone depletion, toxic wastes, acid rain, water scarcity and pollution, forest destruction and topsoil loss are all part of this impending environmentall disaster. Perhaps it is high time to consider underground nuclear testing as a part of this infamous list.

Patterns of Earthquakes, M>=6, 1900 to 1988 For mcans of compwing patterns and trends of M>=6 earthquakes with nuclear testing, 1950 will be used as the watershed year. There were no nuclear tests in that year, and only nine covering the years 1945 through i 949. The idea is to identify patterns in the first half of this century (1900 to 1949) and compare these to the second half of the century (1950 to 1988).

The most evident trend from Table I is the change ill the comparative number of earthquakes of various magnitudes for the peri.od before and' after 1950. The first 50 years of tbis century recorded 3,419 such e..arthquakes of M>=6, an average of 68 per year. The last 39 years of this century recorded 4,963 earthquakes of M>=6, an average of 127 per year. In other words, the average per year for such earthquakes has about doubled in the second half of this century as compared to the first half of the century. Also, from 1900 OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 1995

through 1949, there were only eight years in which there were over 100 earthquakes of M>=6. This entire cluster of eight was found between 1931 and 1941. The highest number was 182 in 1934, and this compared to a low of 17 in 1904.

Starting in 1950, the trend was completely reversed. In this 39-year period from 1950 to 1988, the overwhelming majority of years had a total of over 100 earthquakes of M>=6. Again, this compares to onTy eight years for the first 50 years of this century. The highest number was 214 in 1957, whille ,the lowest was 78 in 1962. It is interesting to note that the years 1959 and 1960 were relatively free of nuclear tests.

Coincidentally, two years later, the number of earthquakes M>=6 dropped to only 78 in 1962 and 83 in 1963. These earthquake totals were the 10wcst for any given year covering ,the entire second half of this century.

When the M>=6 earthquakcs are divided into groups, another trend be.comes evident.

From 1900 through [1949, there was a totaf of 10[1 earthquakes of M>=8, with a yearly maximum of 7 in 1906. Tno'se 1906 earthquakes included the famous San Francisco earthquake of 18th/[ 9th April, at M8.3, which killed over 400 people. But from 1950 through 1988, a total of only 30 earthquakes of M>=8 were recorded. The most in any given year since 1949 were four, back in 1950. This included the great Indian earthquake of 15th August, at M8.7, which kille.d over dl,500 people.

Thus, for ,the first half of this century, 101 earthquakes of M>=8 wcre recorded, as compared to only 30 of such earthquakes for the second ha1f of the century. And for the I~ast dO years ~here have 'been only three earthquakes M>=8 recorded. The last was on 20th October 1986 when an M8.3 carthquake struck the Kermadec Islands of the South Pacific. This qua.ke happened just four days after the USA exploded a 20~50-KT bomb in Nevada on 16th October.

It appears, therefore, that given such an increase in earthquakes of M>=6 since 1950, and a decreasc in earthquakes of M>=8, the observed increase must have occurred in between the two magnitude ranges. In fact, the increase has mostly occurred in the M6.0 to 6.5 range, as se.en in Table I. The average number in this range per year has tripled since 1950, from 24 to 72, as compared to earthquakcs Ibetween M6.5 to <7.0. The numbers for earthquakes M>=7 have dropped since 1950 relative to the first half of tbe century.

There were 1,145 (an average of 22 per year) from 1900 to 1949, and only 699 (average of 17 per year) from 1950 to [988.

It should be noted that the ability to locate earthquakes 'in the world has increascd dramatically since the turn of the century because of improve.d global communications and seismograph i.nstrumentation. A dramatic increase in the number of recording stations has also oc.curred. For example, about 350 seismograph stations were opcrating in 1931, whereas today there are over 3,000 active stations aroUnd the world. It is generally conceded, however, Ithat the largest earthquakes have been rccorded relatively consistently since 1900, and these factors c.ould have only a: small effect on the number of cvents located per year for magnitudes above 6.0.

In conclusion, since 1950 the trend of the earthquak.es M>=6 is as follows. There have been 1,500 more in thc last half of this century compared to the first half, and the average per year has doubled. Further, the increase has been most dramatic in ~e M6.0 to 6.5 range, while a dramatic drop is seen in carthquakes of M>7.0. The question remains as to Whether this trend will continue.

Nuclear 'testing began in earnest in 1951 whcn the USA exploded 16 bombs. They later tested 77 times in 1958, half in the Pacific and about half at the Nevada test site. In 1962, a record of 98 USA bomb tests occurred, including a 600-KT bomb from a Polaris A2 rocket in the Pacific.

The largest nuclear test explosion conducted by the USA was a IS-megaton (MT) bomb detonated at Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands, on 28th February 1954.

Thc largest nuclear test by any eountry is believed to have been a 58-MT bomb detonated by the USSR on 30~ October 1961 above the high Arctic island of Novaya

Zemlya. Since 9th November 1962, all USA nuclear tests have been conducted 'underground at the Nevada tcst site.

In 1962, a large number of nuclear tests were carried out (98. by the USA, 44 by the USSR) iUl anticipation of a halt to aboveground testing, which was a result of the Limited Test Ban Treaty signed in 1963.

The French, however, continued to test above the water at Mururoa Atoll until 1975. And the Chinese did' likewise, testing some 16 times above ground a\ the Lop Nor Itest site in Sinkiang Province until 1975. Tests are now limited to a maximum yield of ISO KT under terms of the Threshold 'I-est Ban Treaty signed by President Richard M. Nixon and -Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev in Moscow on 3rd July 1974. The ban did not take effect unti! 31 st March 1976, and remains unratified Iby the US Senate. Testing was stopped completely in 1959 and 1960, and the USSR unilaterally stopped testing during a sel,f-imposed moratorium for 19 months between JUllry 1985 to February 1987. During that timc, the USA condueted 26 nuclear tests. Since 1963, nuclear tcst sites by the five major ,powers have essentially been confined' to the following locations: Tab Ie J~ .tiiti2n

The French testing site is very close to tbe Tropic of Capricorn (23SS Lat.) and is the only nudear test site south of the equator. The Sovie~ Arctic site, the Novaya Zemlya Islands, is the only nuclear test site north of the Arctic Circle (66.5°N Lat.) and is present'ly used only once or twice per year. However, from 1958 through 1963 ,it was the main Soviet nuclear test site. The site was last used on 4th December 1988 when the USSR exploded a nuclear bomb between 20-150 Kli'. Three days later, on 7th December, the Soviet Armenian earthquake struck, registering M6.9 and killing upwards of 60,000 people, injuring 13,000 and leaving half a million people homeless.

Another of these dangerous coincidences.

The total nuclear tests by all. countries since 1945 ,is 1,795. The average for the 43.5-year period is one test every eight to nine days. If the period 1963 through 1988 OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 1995

.. is taken, the major powers are averaging a nuc1fear test every 7.3 days. The yearly average in the 1960s was 56; in the 1970s it was 47 tests; and in the ~980s, 47 tests.

But the peJ"iod of July 1985 to February 1987 was the self-imposed test ban by the USSR, so the 1990s should show the yearly level rise to above 50 again as they try to make up for lost ground.

Perhaps the only hope on this nuclear ~esting path is the attempt to l\imit nuclear tests to I KT with a view to total elimination. The Soviets emphasised a goal of immediate cessation of all nuclear tests, while the Americans stressed the need to improve verification capabilities and the need to continue testing in the absence of significant reductions in offensive nuclear weapons.

In 1988, each side visited the other side's nuclear tes-t site to monitor an underground nuclear explosion. The idea was to maIc-e sure that both sides can verify whether a test yields more or less than 150 KT. The S.oviets prove accuracy by their preferred monitoring method, which counts seismic units such as those used in monHoring earthquakes. In the American method, an electricaD cable must be placed within 10 to 15 metres of the blast.

Nuclear Testing and Earthquake Frequencies The distri bution of all earthquakes of M>=5.8 between 1900 through 1949 cI'earIy reflects the boundaries of the II major tectonic plate zones. Alii such earthquakes were located in zones or b locks of 10 degrees of latitude ana 10 degrees of longitude, to give frequency and per-cent distributions on a global scale. The highest per cent is the Southern Philippine's block at 3.95%, having recorded 135 earthquakes of M>=5.8 during the period. Japan, in the Hokkaido area, is next at 3.07%, with 105 such earthquakes.

Table 4, below, identifies the major zones of high earthq.uake frequency, in some cases combining the values for adjacent blocks of la,titude and longitude.

This convention for aggregating and presenting the data in percentage values within blocks of latitude' and longitude, is used throughout this paper.

These area blocks or zones of latitude and longitude received nearly 56% of an the Earth's quakes of M>=5.8 from 1900 to 1949, for a total of 1,935 earthquakes. By comparison, all other blocks of latitude and longitude each receive less than 1% of all earthquakes. This established pattern of earthquakes of M>;5.8, with highhghted zones of high frequency occurrence on a global scale between 1900 and 1949, will act as a control against which we can compare the patterns of earthquakes ,that follow nuclear testing. All such earthquakes were recorded either on the day of the test or within the four days afteliWard, for a fiveday period.

Atmospheric (Above-Ground) Nuclear Testing Tne first area to consider is the Pacific Ocean. The US tests here totalled 106 and were conducted from 1946 through 1962.

French testing in the South Pacific covered years 1966 through 1974 when they c-onducted 44 atmospheric tests, 39 over Mururoa Atoll and fi ve over Fagataufa Atolt The earthquake pattern after the French South Pacific testing is somewhat different, and the zones of high frequency earthquakes following these French tests were Western Samoa, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, the Alaska Panhandle, and the area between the Kamchatka Peninsula and Aleutian Islands. lnterestingly, these regions of high carthquake activity foHowing Pacific nuclear testing are aU .confined to the Pacific Ring of Fire, a zone of earthquakes and volcanoes that circles the entire Pacific Ocean. These data are summarised in Table 6.

The above-ground testing was very acti ve at Novaya Zemlya in the years 1958 to 1962. When the 79 tests at that site are matched to the M>='5.8 earthquakes over the five-day period for those years, the following areas emerge as high-risk zones: I

These seven areas were struck 55% of the time during a five-day period following an above-gro.und test at Novaya Zemlya, for the period 1958 through 1962.

The ~former] USSR's main testing site today is Semipalatinsk. But from 1945 through 1962, only a totail of 53 aboveground tests were recorded. This number also included tests conducted at their other maintand sites in Siberia and the Ural Mountains. Two regions are most noticeably tied to this partkular Soviet nuclear test site: Taiwan at 9.48%, and the South Aleutian Islands at 23.28%. These two locations respectively received only 2.16% and 0.88% of all M>=5.8 earthquakes during the pre-testing period of 1900 to 1949.

Two other high-percent zones are the southern Mexico-Central America coastal region at 8.62%, and the western SamoaTonga region at 9.48%.

Another very interesting observation is that these mainland Soviet tests appeared to have Ettie significant effect upon earthquake patterns in the Indonesia-Solomon Islands region, a zone that appears tied to other above-ground nuclear test sites.

Underground Nuclear Testing Underground or below-ground nuclear testing for the USA and USSR started in 1963. Through to 1988 the USA tested underground 629 times, almost exclusively at the Nevada test site. The Soviets tested underground 451 times, mainWy at the Semipalatinsk location, but with 35 underground tests at Novaya Zemlya.

The major [e'X-]USSR puclear test site in Semipalatinsk and associated mainland sites have received over 400 undcrground nuclear tests since 1963. Interesting pattcrns of earthquakes again follow nuclear tests at these sites. The South Pacific zone once again shows a relationship, but so too does the Nevada region, which previously only appeared with a high percentage following Am_erican nuclear tests in Nevada itself. The Aleutian Islands usually show an increase in earthquake frequency following nuclear tests, but this is not the case foillowing a USSR underground test at Semipalatinsk, a plarked contrast with the Novaya Zem~lya test site. Further, the Semipalatinsk region itse],f received 3.15% of all M>=5.8 earthquakes following nuclear tests at that site, as compared to a low 0.23% prior to 1950. See table 12.

observers feel that the French will have to move these tests to the nearby 'Fagataufa Islands. When the earthquakes of M>=5..8 are mapped within five days following all French underground! testing, many Pacific regions again emerged as most affected and noticeable. See Table 13.

Interestingly, the French nuclear test site itself at Mururoa Atoll (22°S Lat., 139°W Long.) has a low L55% ear.thquakes observed in the five-day period following an underground ,test. This is quite djfferent when compared to earthquake frequencies foLlowing,underground tests at the three other test sites in Nevada (4.36%), Semipalatinsk (3.51 %), and Novaya Zemlya (18.18%). This might be attributed to thc fact that energy released from an underground nuclear test dissipates differently from a test site sUHounded by an ocean.

OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 1995

It is interesting to note that the Nevada area has a 2.65% chance of having such an earthquake. This compares to 0.61 % for the pre-nuclear 1900 to 1949 period, and is slightly more than Taiwan's 2.47%. See Table 15 below.

Two areas show a significant tie to nucTear testing, regardless of who testsnotably, the Aleutian Islands chain and the South Pacific area inclusive of V,anuatu, the Solomon [slands, Western Samoa and the [(erma.dec Islands. Further, the Japanese islands of Hokkaido, Honshu and Kyushu should note who tests and when.

The island of Mindanao should! take some precautions when the [ex-]USSR test at Novaya Zemlya. For Nevada, it is necessary not only for them to monitor American tests, but also Soviet Semipalatinsk tests including the Urals and Siberia sites. The two most vulnerable areas in the South OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 1995

Pacific, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, should monitor tests weekly. Each of these areas has up to a 10% chance per week of having an M>=5.8 earthquake because of nU.clear tests in the 1980s being conducted on an average of one per week.

The "Killer Earthquake" and Nuclear Tests Of all the earthquakes that do occur, the most frightening of them is the one identified as the "killer quake". It can be defined as an earthquake whic.h kills at least 1,000 people. It is especially interesting to note a dangerous coincidence when all the killer earthquakes since 195 I are simply listed an.d matched to the dates of nuclear tests.

Table 17 (see page 16), displays tbe 'match' between nuclear explosions and killer earthquakes.

Each of tbe 32 killer earthquakcs which struck between 19511 and 1988 caused at least 1,000 deaths, with the Worst being 800,000 killed in the 11916 M8.2 China earthquake. This China earthquake was the worst for deaths recorded in this century, and, coincidentally, the US testcd a nuclear bomb one day before the earthquake hit.

Over the 37 years of nuclear testing, 20 of the 32 killer earthquakes, or 62.5%, occurred on the same day or within four days of a nuclear te-st. The total death toll for these 20 killer earthquakes is over one million people. Table 18 shows the breakdown of these 20 killer earthquakcs.

Is this pure coincidence?

Conclusions Some people would question the idea of directly link,ing nuclear testing with the pattern of large, powerful earthquakes which follow within days of a test. Given the large number of such earthquakes per year, and the high number of nuclear tests per year, there might tbe a chance match between any given test and the occurrence of a Ilarge earDhquake.

In the 1980s, there were an average of 47 Itests and 120 earthquakes of M>:=6 per year. While a chance correlation might appear to be a~ work, the geographical patterns in the data, with a clustering of earthquakes in specific regions matched to specific test dates and sites, do not support the

easy and comforting explanation of "pure coincidence". The phenomenon crleafily requires further stuoy.

The primary purpQse here was to identify frequency patterns 'Of earthquakes following a given nuclear test. Obviously, more study and research of the question of a link between nuclear bomb tests and earthquakes is needed. This effort is simply a beginning.

A MULTINATIONAL CAN OF WORMS

he link between Colgate and 'mind control' was mentioned earlier. That company's reputatj.on with fluoride as a toothpaste ingredient is a pro:notional legend, particularly III Kenya where a ban on the TV adventlslllg of fltlondated to-othpaste produced some extraordinary pecuniary persuasion from Colgate in attempts to preserve the status quo for the company's benefit.

When officiai fluoridation corruption was exposed! in New Zealand, a 'scientific study' was hurriedly executed to try to justify the original governmenlJindustry claims and Irepair the damage done to the fluoride empire. The accreditation appended to that study is reproduced here, with emphasis added:

"ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS" 'We are grateful to the Director and staff of the Division of De-ntal Health, Department of Health, f0t Ithe administrative and logistic support in the Auckland area. In particular we wish to mention Supervising Gental Nurses R. Patcheu an-d K. Hyde, and assistant V. Clarke for their excellent arrangements and help in contacting, screening, and arranging the transportation of children to the examination centres. Mr Garth Stewart, 'bus driver, contributed much above and beyond his normal duties. The tremendous help and coof.!lâ&#x201A;Źration from principals and staff of all schools is most appreciated.

"Financial support for Ithis study was provided by the Colgate Palmolive Company (NZ)."

Earlier, the name Kellogg was tied into the 1. G. Farben corporate machinations. The words below are reproduced from the cover of a recent World! Health Organisation (WHO) publication advocating fluoridation/fluorides, Appropriate Use of Fluorides for Human Health {underlining added): "Published under the joint sponsorship oJ the International Dental Federation, the W. K. Kellogg.Foundation, and the World Health Organisation. " Tbe intertwining, overtapping, interlocking co-incidence between erstwhile I. G. Farben companies and the continuing degradation of human health, our ecology and environment in exchange for the corporate dollar is virtually endless. But simply, as one example, the Nestle Company, once accused of selling nutritionally barren milk formula to third-world babies, has, recently been found guilty of marketing "Rure Apple Juice" which was anything but "pure" and had never been anywhere near an ap,pfe.

The Nestle Company has been nominated by The Ecologist ,as one of several multinational companies involved in the destruction of "the lungs of the Earth", the Brazilian rainforests.

IT REALLY GETS IN!

The following pages make a slight transition from historically recorded fact and! logic to indisputable fact, biochemical facn and medical literature fact.

The pharmaceutical nomenclature and biochemical data illvolve fluorine/fluorides, with or without other ingredients, in virtuaUyevery phase of mind and behaviour control from mild sedation through 'controlled' unconsciousness to death.

'Side-effects' of all drugs have in common the 'paradoxical' characteristic of hav,ing an effect, on Some individuals, exactly opposite of that which was the intentional effect, converting, for example, a tranquilliser into a potent stimulant, and thus the consumer from a 'pussy cat' into a slavering maniac.

Think back to the dosing of service personnel who are trained to hunt, maim and kill their fell'ow man while under the influence of this or other forms of chemical behaviour~control, and consider the possible reaction of such 'trainees' w,hen dis:charged into the mainstream of society.

Are any of the terrorist activities around the globe, indudmg the otherwise inexplicable recent happenings in AustraIia, the grim result of such biochemical paradox?

There are still many chlorinated and a few brominated ,products designed as nostrums for human disease states. Of recent 2-Dichlorodifluoromethane (12) years, the catalogue of fluoridated pharmaceuticals has doubled 3-Chlorotr,ifluoromethane (13) and redoubled until any representative listing would be beyond the 4--Tetrafliloromethane (14) 5-Dichlorofiluoromethane (21) scope of this paper.

because the doctor recognised accurately and conscientiously registered the cause of his death. The existence of the death certificate has actualfy 'been denied by pro-fluoride Australian 'scientists' in reply to queries from overseas scientists.

It should be clear from the foregojng and what follows that human disease conditions, ranging from "pot-room astlnma" through the various perilous stages of anti-cholinergic response to expirat,ion, can be accidentally or deliberately induced by an interminable list of fluoride pollution and fluorin_ated' compounds which include a fluorinated environment, fluorinated atmosphere and a fluorinated drinking water supply.

It may be difficult for the 'man in the street' Ito believe that a substance with. so many industrial, commercial and medical 'applications' could be derived fram or structured around a s.cientifically recognised toxic waste product. (See reproduction of US EPA letter, NEXUS 2/27). I· This thesis should illustrate that the chemical, pharmaceutical, commercial and political worlds are well aware of the deadly potential of this halogen and intend to exploit that potentiall to everlasting human detriment.

RUORINATED TRANQUILLISERS F~uoridated Acquiescence, Lethargy, Apatby, Stupidity Th.ere are two· basic forms of halogenated tranquilliser: major and minor. The minor tranquillisers are halogenated with either chlorine or bromine. The major tranquillisers, albeit of variable potency, are those numerically listed hereunder and are all fluorinated. All are anti-cholinergic agents with intentional effects on central nervous systems allied with cardiac and respiratory depression. The figure after the hypnen is the number of proprietary products in each classification, in addition to the base chemica'i (in capita:l's).

1-3 BENPERIDOL: Anquil, Frenactil', Glianimon 2-4 DROPERIDOL: Droleptan, Dridoll, Inapsin, Inapsine 3-1 FLUANISONE: Sedalande 4-1 R,UBUPERONE HYDROCI-ILORIDE: Buronil 5-1 R,UNI'FRAZEPAM: Rohypnoll 6-3 R,UOPROMAZINEH: Psyquil, Siquil, Vesprin 7-1 FLUOESONE: Bripidan 8-1 FLURBIPROFEN: Froben 9-0 FLOPENTIUXOL DECANOAl'E lG-3 FLOPENTHIXOL HYDROCHLORIDE: Depixol, Fluanxol, Emergil 11-0 FLUpHENAZINEIDECANOATE 12-0 FLUPHENAZINE ENANTHATiE 13-11 FLUPHENAZINE HYDROCHLORIDE: Modeeate, Moditen, Anatensol, Dapotum, lyogen, Omca, Pancinol, Siqualone, Permitil, Prolixin, Sevino!.

Notes: No.5, FLUNfl'RAZEPAM (Rohypnol), which is fluorinated Valium, was recently prescribed for a youth in Western Australia and was blamed for !lis sUbsequent death.

Valium (Diazepam) was the "tranquilliser most involved" in road aeciden~ victims, according to a s·tudy carried out by Sydney University (Prof. Graham Starmer, Quantum, 26 ApriJI988). An obvious question: What aggravated effect would the increased potency of the fluorinated variety (Rohypnol) have on the road fatalities?

Rohypnol and Valium are proprietory names of Roche products.

Roche was a Swiss member of the I. G. Farben carteJ and is probably more infamous for the terrible Stanley Adams family tragedy 20 • NEXUS

accurately immortalised (n the film, A Song for Europe.

The ABC TV progr.am, 7.30 Report (12 May 11988), told now the Western Australian penal system routinely administered both Serapax and Rohypnol (synergistic drugs) to prisoners to "make them into little robots most of the time"-includFng, it was alleged, throughout pregnancy.

This is a total of 21 fluorinated tranquillising compounds plus an additional 58 brand-name major tranquil'lisers using a fluoride as an il)gredient. Undoubtedly many others have been added to this list since the reference work was published in June 1977.

Relevant Footnotes: Florida International University (Rotton, Tikovsky and Feldman) showed that: "...minute amounts (0.45 !p.p.m.) of sodium fluoride solution.. .impair visual sensorimotor performance" with a consequent slowing down in mental and physical re'actipn times (sedative or tranquillising effect) (lAP., vol. 67:2). This finding is of re1evance when driving or operating machinery, if of no other consequence. Nevertheless, attempts over a number of years to draw the attention of those authorities allegedty concerned with driverlindustrial safety, have been met only with silence or obstruction.

Early in 1987, Swedish researchers linkedl tranquillisers to birth defects, nominating (in Lancet) the drug benzodiazepine (Diazepam or VaJium ) as a particular culprit.

FLUORINATED ANAESTHETICS Fluoridated Unconsciousness (The penultimate in mind and behaviour control) As with fluorinated tranquillisers, there are a number of anaesthetics halogenated with chlorine and Ibromine. lllrte 'popular' modem anaesthetics are those listed here, which are all fluorinated.

ong before the catastrophic bombing of the Alfred P, Murrah federal buildi'ng in Oklahoma City, USA, on 19th April 1995, an'd its attendant frenzy over "militia" groups, one fact was evident. President Bill Clinton and many of his associates-along with £owe of the most prominent media personalities in the world~ had one thing in common: membership in the Council o.n Foreign Relations (CPR).

Clinton is goined as a CFR member by Secretary of State Warren Christopher; the Pentagon's former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Colin Powell; and financier David Rockefeller.

The brightest and richest media celebrities also dot the CPR roster: • Roone Arledge of ABC, architect of many Olympic telecas[s as former executive producer of ABC Sports, • Di.ane Sawyer, the former 60 Minutes reporter who jumped ship from CBS to ABC, buoyed by a US$6 million-per-year contract drafted by Mr ArJedge.

• Dan Rather, long-time anchor for CBS News.

• Robert L. MacNeil and Jim Lehrer, whose acclaimed MacNeil-Lehrer News Hour has long been a PBS fixture.

• Tom Brokaw, NBC News anchor.

• David Brinkley, long-time NBC News commentator and host of his own Sunday news program.

• Katharine Graham, publisher of The Washington Post.

CFR involvement in media reaches to the highest levels of academia as well. At the Association for Education in Journalism aQd Mass Communication (AEJMC) conventions the last two years in Atlanta, GA, and Washington, D.C. respectively, CFR member Everette E. Dennis has chaired and monitored severa,l, cm.cia! panels and discussion groups. Dennis heads the Freedom Forum's Media Studies Center in New Yorl:. The Freedom Forum is the 'charitable' arm of Gannett Corp. which publishes the controversial national newspaper, USA Today.

Esteemed statesmen and women have tong been CFR members. Dr Henry Kissinger, the breakthrough Secretary of State for the Njxon adminisJration in the latc 1960s and '70s, and former United States delegate to the United Nations, Jeane Kirkpatrick, arc listed as key CFR players. This is not to mention the current US representative to the UN, Madeleine Albright, whose arrogant push for a women's conference in China this year has resulted in turmoil between many women of the world and the CbLnese government.

It appears, then, that membership in t\'ie Council on Foreign Relations can definitely enhance one's career, whether it be in academia, politics, high finance or media.

However, most peopte do not even know Ithe CFR exists. Even fewer know about the organisation's secretive policies and dubious history. It might be a good idea for every American to own a copy of the CFR's latest annual report, which contains within it many contradictions and much misleading information about the CFR's actual role in formulating Amer,iean and internaNonal foreign policies.

For example, at the 1994 overpopulation conference in Caim, Egypt, leader of the US delegation waS CFR member and Deputy Secretary of State Timothy E. Wirth, whose group championed the near-militant IPro-abortion population-control program backed by the Clinton administration and heatedly challenged by the Vatican, Populat1ion control has long been a CFR priority, and a pet project of the Rockefeller family. Many prochoice groops in the US are heavily backed by the Rockefellers-who also control the CFR~and this Ifact was trumpeted over National Public Radio (NPR) by th-e few women at the conference who did not back the US-led abortion coalition.

Ward, who revealed to author Ralph Epperson in his 'book, The Unseen Hand, that "...the most powerful clique in these leftist groups I including the CFRJ have one objective in common: they want to bring abollt the surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the United States... A second clique of international members of the CFR...comprises the Wall Street international bankers and key agents. " Since the UN's formation, it appears the CFR is prophetically making just such headway in establishing itself as a de facto world-governing body in conjunction with many international heads of state. Current CFR Chairman Peter G. Peterson boasts on Page 6 of the 1993 Annual Report: "...Nineteen ninety-two showed just how successful the Council has been... Its members lent their talents to each of the major national presidential candidates. A Council member was elected President of fhe United States. Our former Vice Chairman, Warren Christopher, returned to Washington as Secretary of State. Dozens of other Council colleagues were called to serve on cabinet and subcabinet positions... " In another example of the CFR's deep involvement in US foreign and military policy, it has been disclosed that 40 CFR members were transported by CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters to the Twenty-Nine Palm$ Marine Corps mililtary installation ,in Southern California in March of 1994. The entire episode was routinely reported in the base newspaper by Cpl. M. T. Mink, whose story-a copy of which has been faxed to militia and 'patriot' groups-stated that ~he CfR delegation was granted a tour of the highly classified I st Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Co. (I st UAV).

"The [CFRJ visit was an excellent opportunity to display the training conducted aboard the Combat Center as well as the capabilities of the operating forces stationed here, "bragged Brig. Gen. Russell H. Sutton, as quoted by Cpl. Mink. Why would the ultrasecretive CFR want to know these sensitive details about US military preparedness?

Curiously, two months rater, a survey was given to Marines a~ Twenty-Nine Palms and aneitrary units who served in Operations Just Cause, Desert Storm (Persian Gulf War) and Restore Hope.

The troops could answer the survey's statements with "strong];y disagree", "disagree", "agree", "strongly agree", or "no opinion".

A copy of the survey was leaked by a concerned Marine to the John Birch Society. A group of military Special Forces comman<!los, known only as "The Resisters", has also garnered a copy of this survey and confirmed that it was not only given to these Marines but to Navy Seals as well. The Resisters maintain that rhe survey was presented to a wide variety of US troops to get their reactions to the stunning statement/questions, which included the following: "36. US combat troops should be commanded by UN officers and non-commissioned officers (NCOs) at battalion and company levels while performing US missions. " "39. I feel the President of the United States has the authority to pass his responsibilities as Commander-in-Chief to the UN Secretary General. " "46. The US government declares a ban on the possession, sale, transportation and transfer of all non-sporting firearms. A thirty (30t-day amnesty period is permitted for these firearms to be turned over to the local authorities. At the end of this period, a number of citizen groups refuse to turn over their firearms.

Consider the following statement: I would fire upon US citizens who refuse or resist confiscation of firearms banned by the US Government." [Auth:or's emphasis added.]

This is interesting, especially in the light of the highly controversial federal crime bill of late 1994 that included a Dan of soOCTOBER - NOVEMBER 1995

called "assault weapons", which matches the above statement's description of "non-sporting firearms".

By the way, the gemlernan behind the recent sudden steep rises in interes~ rates that sledgehammered the US economy in late 1994 and early 1995-Alan Greenspan, head of the Federal Reserve Bank-is also a CFR member. So is Paul Volcker who also ran the Fed at one time. Everywhere, CFR members, for better or worse, appear to be the huge decision-makers. Even tthe US Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala-who, only two days before the Oklahoma! City b.ombing, described Vietnam veterans as not being among the "best and the brightest" thaJ America could have sent into that contlagration-is a dues-paying member of the Council on Foreign Relatio:ns.

In facJ, CFR membership has become a virtual requirement on most corporate or government resumes. Tho CEOs of Exxon, Texaco, Atlantic-Richfield (ARCO), Shell, Mobil and Tenneco are CFR members, as arc the directors of John Deere & Co., AT&T, Chrysler Corp., Gcneral Motors, Ford Motor Co. and American Express.

Sho_uld such financial and governmental power be monopolised in a single organisation? And who backs the CFR? Global conglomerates-such as the Coca-Cola Co., whose President and CEO Roberto Goinzueta is a CFR member-top the list, along with the aforementioned! oil companies and industrial giants of the capitatist West.

And if you work for a major university in the US, your pension contributiQns help sponsor the CFR. The nationally interlocked TIAA-CREF retirement fund is listed as a 1993 Corporate Member of the CFR. Welcome to the club.

And if you are a member of the so-called "citizens' militia" groups sprouting across the country in the wake of the Branch Davidian massacre in Waco in 1993-and the more recent and far more destructive and disturbing Oklahoma City bombing-your paranoia over "'one-world governmenf' might not be so far-fetched after all.

THE MOST DANGEROUS FOOD ADDITIVE?

A

~,~r'~

spartame is the technical name for the brand names NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure. Aspartame was discovered by accident in 1965,

when James Schlatter, a chemi'st ofG. D. Searle Company, was testing an anti­ ulcer drug. Aspartame was approved for dry goods in 198 ~ and for carbonated beverages in 1983. It was originally approved for dry goods on 26 Jully 1974, but objec­ tions filed by neuros.cience researcher Dr John W. Olney and consumer attorney James Turner in August 1914, as wen as investi'gations of G. D. Searle's research practices, caused the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to p.ut approval of aspartame on hold (5 December 1974). In 1985, Monsanto purchased G. D. Searle and made Searle Pharmaceuticals and The NutraSweet Company separate subsidiaries.

Aspartame is by far the most dangerous substance on the market that is addcd to foods.

Aspartame accounts for over 75% of the adverse reactions to food add Hives reported to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Many of these reactions are very serious, including seizures and death as recently disclosed in a February 1994 DepartmeM of Health and Human Services report. I A few of the 90 different documented symptoms listed in the repor~ as being caused by aspartame include: headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, wei'ght gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision pJoblems, bearing loss, heart palpitations, hreathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss andljoint pain.

According to'researchers and physicians studying the adverse effects of aspartame, the following chronic illnesses can be triggered or worsened by ingestion of aspartame 2: brain tumo.Ufs, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, mental retardation, lymphoma, birth defects, fibromyalgia and dia­ betes.

Aspartame is made up of three chemicals: aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol.

The book, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, by James and Phyllis Balch, lists aspar­ tame under the category of "chemical poison". As you shall see, that is exactly what it is.

ASPARTIC ACID (40% OF ASPARTAME) Dr Russell L. Blaylock, a Professor of Neurosurgery at the Medical University of Mississippi, recently published a book thoroughly detailing the damage that is caused by the ingestion of excessive aspartic acid from aspartame. Aspartic acid makes up 40% of aspartame; glutamic acid is 99% of monosodium glutamate (MSG). The damage MSG causes is also documented in Blaylock's book. Blaylock makes use of almost 500 scien­ tific references to show how excess free excitatory amino acids such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid in Ouf food supply are causing serious chronic neurological disorders and myriad other acute symptoms.]

HOW ASPARTATE (AND GLUTAMATE) CAUSE DAMAGE Aspartate and glutamate act as neurotransmitters in the brain by fa.cilitating the trans­ mission of information fram neuron to neuron. Too much aspartate or glutamate in the brain kills certain neurons by allowing the influx of too much calcium into the cells. This influx triggers excessive amounts of free radicals which kilJ the cells. The neural cell damage that can be caused by excessive aspartate and glutamate is why they are referred to as "excitotoxins". They "excite" or stimulate the neural cells to death.

G. D. Searle conducted animal experiments on the safety of DKJP. The FDA found numerous experimental errors occurred, including "clerical errors, mixed-up animals, animals not getting drugs they were supposed to get, pathological spec)mens lost because of improper handling" and many other errors. 12 These sloppy laboratory procedures may explain why both the test and control animals had 16 times more brain tumours than would be expected in experiments o~ this ~engtl1.

In an ironic twist, shortly after these experimental errors were discovered, the FDA used' guidelines recommended by G. D. Searle to develop the industry-wide FDA standards for Good Laboratory Practices. II DKP has also been implicated as a cause of uterine polyps and changes in blood cholesterol by FDA toxicologist Dr Jacqueline Verrett in her testimony before the US Senate."

A'ILMENITS RESULTING FROM ASPARTAME The components of aspartame can I· ··M··· k ~'" .~·.·.n . .~ lead to a wide variety of ailments.

Some of these problems occur gradu­ ally; others are immediate, acute reactions.

There is an enormous populati.on of people who are suffering from symptoms contributed to by aspar­ tame, yet they have no idea why herbs or drugs are not helping relieve their problems. There are other users of aspartame who appear nOlt to be suffering immediate reaction s to aspartame. But even these individu­ als are susceptible to the long-term damage caused try excitatory amino acids, phenylalanine, methanol and DKP. A few of the many disorders that are of particular concern to me include the following: k

Birth Defects Dr Diana Dow Edwards, a researcher, was funded by Monsanto to study possible birth defects caused by the ingestion of aspar­ tame. After preliminary data showed damaging information about aspartame, funding for the study was cut off. A genetic paediatri­ cian at Emory University has testified that aspartame is causing birth defects. 7 In the book, While Waiting: A Prenatal Gu.idebook, by George R. Verrilli, M.D. and Anne Marie Mueser, it is stated that aspar­ tame is suspected of causing brain damage in sensitive individuals.

A foetus may be at risk for these effects. Some researchers have suggested that high doses of aspartame may be associatedl with probl'ems ranging from dizziness and subtle brain changes to men­ tal retardation.

Cancer (Brain Cancer) In 1981, Satya Dubey, an FDA statistician, statedl that the brain tumour data on aspartame was so "worrisome" that he could not recommend approval of NutraSweet. " In a two-year study con­ ducted by the manufacturer of aspartame, 12 of the 320 rats fed a normal diet and aspartame developed brain tumours, while none of the control rats had tumours. Five of the n tumours were in rats given a low dose of aspartame. 'S The approval of aspartamc was a violation of the Delaney Amendment which was supposed to prevent cancer-causing sub­ stances such as methanol (formaldehye) and DKP from entering our food supply. The late Dr Adrian Gross, an fDA toxicologist, 28. NEXUS

testified before the US Congress that aspartame was capable of producing brain tumours. this made it illegal for the FDA to set an alIowable daily intake at any level.

re you sure we're Iilot lost?" The question emerged from somewhere in the inky blackness a few yards behind me. I must admit I was beginning to.wonoer myself. "How could we be lost?" I thought. Here we are, the worM-famous Indiana Jones archetype, David Hatcher Childress, and myself, a budding mag­ azine publisher, in search of crop circles and sacred sites. We couldn't possibly be lost­ our egos wouldn't allow that!

If the truth be known, we were looking for a pub. Ah, bUh this was no ordinary pub. It was the legendary Barge Inn, the 'Mecca' for crop circle buffs and sceptics alike from all over the world.

It was dark and getting late. If we didn't hurry, we wouLdn't get more than one drink before closing time at 11 pm. "Don't worry," I said, sounding more chc.erful than [ actual­ ly felt. "I bet it's just around this next comer." I had! been saying that for the last few mil'es (or so it seemed), while grumbling to myself that we shoul'd have brought the car instead of walked. Then suddenly, around the corner, there it was.

What a sight for sore eyes! I1ere, in what seemed the middle of nowhere, was a bustling, full car park, people everywhere, TV camera vans-and a beautiful old English pub in full bloom. I was dumhfounded. When we gathered our scattered wits and pushed our way inside, I was even more amazed. It reminded me of Ithe bar scene in the Star Wars movie. Th.ere were all sorts of strange-looking people speaking all sorts of strange languages from alI over the world, and they all had one thing in common: crop circles.

I hadn't realised! how important these weird crop formations were to so many. Some people I spoke to come from Europe or the USA every year. Apart from the circle enthu­ siasts, practically all the well-known crop circle researc.hers, authors and photographers were there.

David and I found our way to a table of familiar faces: Herman Hegge from our NEXUS office in the Netherlands, along with author Filip Coppens (see his article on the Chinese Pyramids this issue), Herman's sister Yoke, and another Iresearcher, Dorian Rooyakikers.

Herman and Filip proceeded to point out the 'who's who' amongst the crowd: Busty Taylor, tbe famous aerial photographer; Michael Hesemann, weN-known German Magazin 2000 editor; author and film producer, George WingfieM; some famous sceptics whose names disappeared (wm my mind after the first drink; and many others who appeared to be taking turns Ito sit in front of a famous US current affairs TV camera crew.

Suddenly I real'ised that Ji)avid and I were insignificant nobodies in this crowd! Still, the excitement was contagious and I soon found myself eagef'ly looking forward to the big Crop Circle Conference '95 to be held in Glastonbury, Somerset, in a couple of days.

I now present a basic summary of information that we gleaned from both our time at the Barge Inn and at the Conference itself: (1) The crop formations occur each summer, growing in complexity but not necessarily in quantity.

(2) The crop form.ations that are not obvious hoaxes are non-duplicable; that is, despite many ahtempts, no one has been able to duplicate successfully virtually any of the forma­ tions found in the Ilast few years.

(3) When one takes the seed from a plant 'flattened' in a crop formation, that seed will grow normally (vertically) for an i:nch or two, then will grow horizontally parallel to the ground. There is no known explanation for this.

(4) There is sti~1 no explanation as to who or what is causing these formations.

In the following pages we present just a few of the many am.azing formation.s from the crop of 1995.

Despite speculation about the existence of great pyramids in China, archaeologists and bureaucrats have refused to consider even the rumours about such structures.

But recent pictorial evidence proves that China 's pyramids are indeed real, rivalling those of Egypt and Central America for their age, size and significance.

OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 1995

n 1920, historian Henri Cordier wrote: "China's ancient past is denied both to itS and its population. Its grand past is slowly unveiled, similar to how Egypt's was revealed. Later on, one learned of buildings, standing stones and other monuments that were not mentioned by the Chinese historians (as part of their history)." The I¥argest country in the world was, and is, largely there Ito be discovered. Though accepted as a great civilisation, its ancient treasures were barely knOWlll. One rumour sp.oke about pyramids that could be found in desolate areas.

One such pyramid was photographed in 1947 by Col. Maurice Sheehan from a DC3 air­ plane. His story was printed in The New York Times in March of the same year. Sheehan slated it rose to about 300 metres, its sides 450 metres long. The n.ext day, the Los Angeles Daily Express ran Sheehan's photograph. But a few days later, the Associated Press received a letter from the authorities of the province of Nankin, stating "the exis­ tence of such pyramids is not backed up by evidence". That press re1ease discredited Sheehan's story, as most autb.ors and res.ear.chers believed Shee.han had e~aggerated.

French author Patrick iFerryn stated: "the photographs do not reveal any markings that would allow us to measure the true dimensions. lts height was probably an incorrect esti­ mate. It is probably a burial vault; it definitely looks like one. " Ifhe 1950s and '60s had shown the world the existence of many 'ritual platfonns' and 'artificial hills' in China, identical to pyramids in appearance except in terminology.

'Pyramids' have a magical app:eal to many. Bruce Cathie also became interested in the Chinese pyramids and wrote on the subject in The Bridge to Infinity. Cathie reported Ithat a member of the Chinese Emhassy had officially informed him there were no such things as pyramids in the Shensi province: 'There are a few tumuli (burial hills), but no pyra­ mids." He knew 110thing about the existence of pyramids in China.

A letter from Chinese authorities, dated I November 1978, addressed to Cathie, stated the scientists had learned that the so-caUed "pyramids" were burial tombs of emperors of the Western Han dynasty. "Records give a different version of the emperors' lives. As the graves have not been scientifically analysed and no markings were seen on the ground, it is difficult to formulate conclusions. " Still, there were historical records that spoke of pyramids. The head of the Ts'in-family, Che Houang-ti (the "Yellow Emperor", the first to hold that title), changed Chinese soci­ ety dramatically. He built the Chinese Wall upon listening to an oracle that prophesied a "barbar~an" would attack China. By 1974 the Empe·ror had again risen to popu~'arity with the dis.covery of his subterranean mausoieum. It contained no less than 6,000 terracotta warriors that were stored in combat mode and believed to be intended as protection for the deceased Emperor in his new existence. Historian Sseuma Ts'ien (135-85 BC) wrote that this Emperor united China and destroyed all ancient writings as a sign of the new era that was born. Some old boots were apparently saved, mainly in Taoist temples.

Che Houang-ti ordered 700,000 people to build him a pyramid at Lin-fong, between Rnan and Si-ngan. The "Segalen mission", a tour of China that Segalen made in 1913, measured the pyramid's height at 48 metres, encompassing five terrac.es. One side mea­ sured 350 met'fes, 120 metres longer than the side of Great Pyramid at Gizeh, Egypt.

With 1,960,000 cubic ,metres, it is fourth largest pyramid in the world. The pyramid at Cholula, Mexico, and the two largest pyramids at the Gizeh plateau precede it. the Emperor possibly died in 210 Be. When his treasures were stored in the pyramids, it was decided the workers would be sealed inside the pyramid so no one could reveal where the pyramid was situated. Plants were planted on its sides so the pyramid would eventuaUy take on the appearance of a naturall hill. Sseuma Ts'ien wrote that subterranean

streams of lead engulfed the pyramid, the ceiling depicted the sky, andl the ground showed the expanse of the EJ11pjre. Crossbows were aimed at trespassers-a burglar alarm which wasn't that suc­ cessful, as General Hiang Yu was able to loot the pyramid in 207

Be. The Segalen mission revealed more I" pyramids and tombs along the River Wei. These were dated to the Han period, following that of EJ11peror Che Houang-ti. As these were rela­ ti,vely recent pyramids, the scientists did want ItO entertain the notion that these "buriall hills" might be "pyra­ mids", but, as mentioned, there were rumours of taller and more ancient ones.

In 1912, Fred Meyer Schroder and Oscar Maman travelled to Shensi.

They not only dealt in tobacco and I. candles but also supphed the Mongolians with weapons. Their guide along the Chinese-Mongolian border was a monk, Bogdo ("the holy one"), who told them they would soon stumble upon some ancient pyramids. Though he himseJf had never seen them, he knew some could be found around the old town of Sian-Fu. "Mountains as high as the sky. They are no ordinary burial vaults, though emperors or empresses might be buried inside, " Bogdo knew seven IJilyramids had been discovered.

34 • NEXUS

Schroder estimated the talIest one measured 300 metres high, its sides 500 metres long. This would mean this pyramid was Ithe largest in the world, twice as large as the Great Pymmid at Gizen.

The volume was 20 times as large as the Great Pyramid at Gizeh.

Both were buil~ north-southlwest-east.

"In the past, they were apparently partly covered with stones, but those have disappeared. A few stones lie 'at the bottom. It is an earthen pyramid, with giant gullies on its sides. They were the reason why the stones loos­ ened andfell down. Its sides are now partially covered with trees and shrubbage. It almost looks, a natural hill. We rode around the pyramid, but did not discover any stairways or doors. " When questioned, Bogdo believed. it was at least 5,000 years old. Their ancient records claimed that even then the pyramids were "old".

A US Air Force map detailing the area around the city of Xian, made with the use of satelIite photographs, shows at least 16 pyra­ mids. Xian, the ancient Sian-Fu, presently inhabited by more thoo six million souls, is much older than Peking (Beijing). Once it was the capital of the Empire: it was recognised as the umbilicus of China's dvilisation.

Still, China will not give up all its mysteries that easily. Severall pyramids probably remain undiscovered, their existence perhaps even unknown to the Chinese scientists.

One mystery, however, definitely lingers on. At the end of the Sec.ond Worrld War, pilot James Gaussman had to adjust his course due to engine problems. He tried to reac~ his base in Assam, India, having droppedl off supplies inside China. As he turned around one moun­ tain-top, a giant pyramid rose in the valley in front of him. It was white, hi made out of metal or stone. According to Gaussman it would have fitted per­ fectly in any fairy tale. A Jewel-like stone crowned its top. "Though I want­ ed to set my plane on the ground and investigate, there was no way I could land it on that terrain. " Gaussman flew three times around the structure, photographing the pyra­ mid with the same camera with which he'd just photographed hostile troop movements. During his debriefing in Assam, he told ~is ,intelligence officer the world would be stunned when they learnt about that pyramid. "There was nothing around it, just this pyramid in the middle of nowhere. I think it's extremely ancient. Who built it? Why? What's inside?"

Hausdorf and all in search of the "White Pyramid" have never been able to rediscover it. Gaussman's photograph was developed and filed in a military archive where it remained for the next 40

years umB AJrstralian 13rian Crowley published the photograph in his book, The Face on Mars.

Who built Ithese pyramids? Bruce Cathie thinks he might know more. Using his harnronics, he believes there is a mathematical connection between the pyramids in China and the pyramids of Egypt. The number 116944 is presenb inside the Great Pyramid of Gizeh, he states, and there are 16944 minutes of arc between the longitude of the Great Pyramid at Gizehr and that of the tallest pyramid at Shensi. Their dispersa] along the river reminds him of the placement of Ithe pyramids in Egypt along the River Nile. Cathie believes tnat this shows the pyramids were built by the same people.

He also wonders whether the decades­ long siLenc.e surrounding the IPyramids was to aUow the Chinese scientists to discover whether such a connection did indeed exist.

II Hartwig Hausdorf spoke to Professor . Wang Shiping who believcs tlhe pyra­ mids have an astronomic alignment and could! be dated to 1,500-500 Be. Records of that time speak of the emper­ ors descending from heaven in flying dragons.

And so Hausdorf has stumbled upon another fairy tale, of emperors descending from heaven, which scientists thinle is impossible. Rest assured, Hausdorf will also try to find out whether that 'rumour' is real or not.

This is an article on electromagnetic fields mid the potential health hazards associated with exposure to them. Author Dr Marjorie Lundquist, based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a Ph.D. physicist and a certified industrial hygienist who has studied this issue for a number ojyears. Industrial hygiene is a 70-year-old profession devoted to the preven­ tion of diseases resulting from exposure to hazardous environmental agents-original­ ly, agents in the workplace. Although preventing dis'ease in people exposed to electro­ magnetic fields is an industrial hygiene problem, no qualified industrial hygiene profes­ sional has ever been asked to solve this problem! Indeed, of the many organisations sponsoring evaluation of the data and reviews of the scientific literature, none has ever commissioned a qualified industrial hygiene professional to perform such a task! With Dr Lundquist's article, this is the first time that a specialist in prevention of environ­ mental disease has addressed this issue. - ES he United States began to be subjected to artificially-generated 'electromagnetic radiation on a large scale in the 1920s whcn commercial radio broadcasting began. The very first such station licensed in I~his country was KbKA in _ Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Westinghouse obtained the licence on 27 October 1920 and still operatks the station today.

Every government licenses broadcast transmitters. The growth of commercial radio broadcasting can be traced simply by looking at the record of licences granted in the USA (originally by thc US Department of Commerce, now by the US Federal Communications Commission). Commerci.aJ radio broadcasting grew explosively in the United States dur­ ling the 1920s. By the end of 1921, the Department of Commerce had issued 32 broadcast Ilicences. A year later, the number of applicants had exceeded 600. A WHole new industry had been spawned. By ~ 923 there were 200 manufacturers of radio receivers in the United States, and 5,000 component-makers!

If one looks at the health data for tAe whole USA during this same period, one sees a curious jump in the nationwide incidence of childhood brain cancer that appears, for white children, to track ratfuer closely the rise in commercial radio broadcasting. FOF non-white children there is a similar rise in childhood hrain cancer~a rise of the same magnitude­ but it is considerably delayed in time compared to the curve for white children..

Census data provide a clue that could explain the delayed, rise in lOon-white children. In 1920 the overwhelming majority of the non-white population lived in rural areas. By contrast, a majority of the wnite population lived in urban areas even before the beginning of the 20th century!

The rise in chirdhood brain cancer in non-white chitdren closely coincides with the rural-to-urban population shift of the non-white population which took place in the middle of the 20th century. The childhood brain cancer data therefore seem to indicat« that a >new hazardous agent had establis.hed itself in the urban-but not the rural--environment of the United States by 1930. This hazardous agent was able to affect large numbers of white children without delay because they were already present in the urban envimnment; but non-white children were not ,initially affected because they were concentrated in rural areas. However, as the shift of the non-white po,pulatiol'l! from rural to urban 'areas took place, non-white children began to be affected, also; and when both populations were pre­ dominantly urban, the children of both population groups were thereafter affected in the same manner.

Where were the transmitters of commercial radio broadcasting stations located? In urban areas, of course, because that is where the majority of radio listeners were concentrated! When did com­ mercial broadcast radio begin? In 1920. By what date did every major US city have at least one commercial radio station?

Probably well before 1925. The early radio stations produced an amplitude-modulated signal-that is, they i " , . were AM stations. Thus, the [ocalised elec­ tromagnetic fields surrounding commercial radio station transmitters are a very good can­ didate indeed for the mysterious urban haz­ ardous agent that began elevating the rate of childhood brain cancer in the United States over 60 years ago.

Just two years ago, the news media trum­ peted the fact that some users of the handheld cellular telephones with the transmitter in the handset were developing !brain cancer behind the ear, on [the same side of the head where the phone was typically posit,ioned, at exactly the spot where brain tissue would be irradiat­ ed by the transmitter of the cellular phone.

This experience is very simi[ar to that of the law-enforcement officers who developed cancer where their microwave-emitting traf­ fic radar guns had irradiated their bodies for " long periods of time.

All three sets of data-the expenience of law-enforcement officers with traffic radar" guns, of cellular telephone users, and the data . on childhood brain cancer since ro920-=-s.eem to indicate that heing in the near field of a transmitter of radio

I'·

frequency radiation, including microwave radiation, for long periods ,of time is hazardous to human health and may result in the development of some form of cancer!

When one is in the near field of a source, one is exposed to the localised field. For those readers who may be having some diffi­ culty with the concepts of localised and radiated fields, and who may be confusing them with near and far fields, let me draw an analogy with ,the seashore. At the beach, there are waves that push

water up onto the beach; then the water runs back down into the ocean. Water continually surges back and forth at the shoreline through wave action. Electromagnetic power in the localised field also surges back and forth in a similar manner.

At the seashore lthere may also be an .undertow that carries objec.ts caught in it straight out to sea. This is similar to the radiat­ ed electromagnetic field which breaks away from the source and carries a siRnal away for­ ever.

The water surging back and forth by wave ;1 action at ~he beach is ~ot no~.ma11y danger­ , ' ous, but the undertow IS. With electromag­ netic fields, the reverse seems to be true: the radiated field that carries ele.ctromagnetic power away may not be hazardous, but the localised field where electromagnetic power simply surges back and forth is hazardoOs. Could the radiated electromagnetic wave from broadcast transmitters also be haz­ ardous? The answer is unde.ar. At preseot, there is no data indicating that the radiated I electromagnetic wave from broadcast sources poses any cancer hazard, although, if the sta­ tion were sufficiently high-powered, such a hazard might very well exist. But the avail­ able evidence points o.n,~y to thc localised field near a transmitter as being hazardous.

Of course, the temporal coincidence between the development of commercial broadcast radio in the early 1920s and the """"~~~.... rather sudden increase in chi,ldhood brain cancer incidence thereafter docs not prove that the electromagnetic fields around radio transmitters caused the observed rise iu child­ hood brain cancer. But timing can be used to rule Oul otper possi­ ble candidates, For example, it is most unlikely that electric power-lines could have caused the observed rise in childhood brain cancer because major American cities such as New York were electrified before the beginning of the twentieth century! It seems unlikely that electricity was initially innocuous, remained so fOJ decades and then suddenly became harmful in [the 1920s!

Two factors make broadcast sources different from other ing these transmitters constitute a public health hazard, it may be sources of electromagnetic fields, One is that they use the electro­ in the public interest, heaIthwise, for the electromagnetic spectrum magnetic spectrum, which in the USA legally belongs to the pub­ to remain dargely unused! This would call for 3 radica~ change in lic, and they therefore must be licensed to transmit-that is, they the way the US Federal Communications Commission operates, must have government permission to emit a signal. Supposedly sinc~ it is the agency that licenses transmitters.

Right now, of course, the existence of a, hazard to health from the government is acting in the public interest when a licence is broadcast electromagnetic fields is uncertain. We strongly suspect issued, aJilowing a transmitter to go 'on the air'. Presumab~y the government would withhold the licence if the transmitter were there may be a cancer hazard, but we are not absolutely sure, What should we do under these conditions of uncertainty? unsafe, The logical tbing to do is to declare a moratorium on licensing The other difference is that everybody in the vicinity of the transmitter is exposed Ito the electromagnetic field it generates, but new broadcast stations or enlarging the operations of existing sta­ tions until this qucstion is resolved. That way we can at least stop only those individuals who are ~istening to radios or TV sets tuned the situation from getting worse, Bu:n to the broadcasting stallion are right now our government is doing r,eceiving a benefit from the trans­ mission, Therefore, this is a situa­ the exact opposite! It is opening up new portions of the electmmagnetic tion where everyone in a given geo­ spectrum and running lotteries to"aIlo­ graphic area is exposed in ord'er that cate the ~requencies.

"BROQUET" FUEL CATALYST

We have in our possession literally pages 0f information and test res.ults, SD if you are Dnterested, contact: • Wright Go Products, PO Box 94, Hawks Nest, NSW 2324, Australia; phone +61 (0)49 97 1842, fax (0)49 97 1843, or see their ad on page 70 of this edition.

Research thab led to the Broquet Fuel Catalyst was started in 1941 when Henry Broquet was involved in the operation and maintenance of Hurricane aircraft present­ ed by Britain to aid the Russian war effort.

The Hurricane's engine was designed for higher octane fuel than was available ab the time., and therefore a suitable fuel catalysl had to be developed.

Sin.ce WWII, the Broquet fuel device has been further developed for use with any petrol, die.sel or LPG engine and is now exported throughout the world. The many applications for the catalyst include motor­ cycles, cars, trucks, boats, etc.

The Broquet is a compound of metals, of which tin forms a major component. When placed in the engine fuel system, the 22­ mm-diameter cones will save fuel costs and improve the performance of all engines using petrol, LPG, diesell or oil as fuel.

There is no doubt that the test results provided to NEXUS are most impressive­ so impressive, in fact, that we are getting one for our car!

STUDYING THE HUMAN

ElECTROMAGNETIC AURA

· T

wo Russian scientists, ,the engineer and inventor Yuri Kravchenko, and the physician Nikolai Kalashchenko, have developed an original instrument: the Phase Aurometer. This is a highly sensi­ tive instrument for the remote measurement 0f ,nhe electromagnetic radiation of any object, Diological included. The instrument and the method are protected by a Certificate of Authorship, No. 321662, issued it! 1990. 7 A medical version of the phase aurome­ ter is in use at the Repu.blican Clinical Hospital in Ufa, Bashkortostan. The instrument records the patient's own radia­ tion by a contact-free method, and has no impact whatever on the environment. It is intended for screening the population and for clinical researc.h.

The applications of the phase aurometer can be considerably expanded further-fm example, into the insurance bUsiness, dowsing, testing folk-healers and sensi­ hves, and into such seemingly distan~ fields as agricultural selection or construction and performance supervision.

Ad'vances in bio.physics, and the deep penetration of physical techniques into medicine, both in Rus.sia and in other coun­ tries, have made possible studies involving the remote measurement (at distances of up to one metre) of the electromagnetic radia-

magnetic field in the 0.5 to 150kHz range, with a frequency analysis of the received noise signal.

Several researchers 6 have concluded' that some biological objects, induding human beings, are sources of flicker-noise fluctua­ tions (IIF-noise whose spectral density depends upon frequency in keeping with the law IFI' =0.8 ... 104).

The proposed instrument is iritended to evaluate the human electromagnetic field on the basis of phase aurometry. This is accomplished by using tbe digital filtering method to single out specific frequency components from a broad spectrum of that field's flkker-noise characteristic, and to perform, on each fixed frequency, a topo­ gFaphic evaluation of the human field by registering its dimensions andl geometry in the form of an aUFa. The instrument records the pha_se shift of tne oscjIlations of the selected frequency at each specific poinn of ,that field, both in the immediate vicinity (2 to 3 mm) of ,the body and at dis­ tances of up to 1.5 m. The obtained mea­ surement results are used to plot a spatial topogram of that electromagnetic field, which serves in evaluating a person's health status.

Figure I shows the aUfogram of a person in good health, plotted according to seven chakras measured from both the front and the back. A sick person's aurogram, shown in Figure 2, exhibits visible field deforma­ tions.

The phase aurome­ ter is a highly sensi­ tive (hundreds of pV) AC resonance ampli­ fier with a high input resistance (over 1,000 MQ). It differs from standard instruments of the same class in that it has a digital ,fil ­ ter, replacing regular LC circuits to ensure a 'narrower' band­ width, and a phase­ sensiti ve (instead of amplitude-sen si ti ve) detector which makes it possible to evaluate the relative phase­ shift of the osciHa­ tions selccted by the digital filter.

'00' The digital filtering circuit improves t(';le Figure 2: Aurogram of a person in poor health noise immunity of the (distances in centimetres) instrument and dis­

tion of the human body.'·2 However, except for the electromagnetic fields of the stomac'h (fractions of one Hertz») and the heart (a few Hertz)2, this radiation is recorded by most researchers only as "naise", which is a sum-total of fre­ quencies ranging from 0.01 to 100,000 Hz. The recording is accomplished by means of electrometer amplifiers, whose output signal is fed to an oscillograph or elecJronic voltmeter. 4 The electrometer amplifiers used for the purpose are wi.de-band AC devices with a sensitivity from 0.00 I to 1.000 microvolts, equipped with a probing antenna. The high input resistance (I to 1,000,000 MQ) and! low input capacity (below 110 pF) of the amplifiers enable them to. amplify the entire range of fre­ quencies that constitute noise of varying spectraf density. It is noteworthy that no radiation of the human body has 'been reg­ istered in tbe 10 to 1U0,OOO kHz range!

Most researchers are currently involvcd in Fecording signals in the therma~ microwave and EHF range (I to 10 GHz), and the infrared and optical range. A series of devices (such as the IR Imager) has been developed for the purpose, which register the human body's electromagnetic fields and make it possible to identify various pathologies characterised by a differing electromagnetic field intensity.'·5 In this article we describe an instrument, designed for medical research, involving the remote sensing of the human electro­

penses with the need for a screened room at health-care institutions.

The noise signa] produced by the human electromagnetic field is received by the antenna (1), and passedl through the digital filter (2); only the oscillations whose fre­ quencies coincide with that of the refer­ ence frequency generator (3) reach the out­ put. The AC amplifier (4) is equipped with an output phase detector (5), which records the value of the phase shift <Jlmeas between the measured radiation frequency of the biological object Wmeas and the refer­ ence generator's frequency wref as: <Jlmeas

=wmeas - weef - const.

The constant in the abovc equation is the signal produced by the noise background compensation circuit (7). The value of the const. is automatically selected so as to reduc.e to nil the qOantity <Jlmeas as the antenna is moved away from tthe biologi:ca'D object. In other words, the value of ~meas is measured relative to the specific noise background in that room.

The DC amplifier (6) serves to filter and further amplify the output voltage of the phase detector (5). The integrator unit (8) serves Ito integrate the phase-shift signa] and select low-level signals of the biologi­ cal object against the noise background.

Hence, the phase aurometer's output sig­ nal may be described as an ,integral charac­ teristic of the phase shift of the electro­ magnetic component of the biological fiefd at eacn specific radiation frequency syn­ chronised with the reference frequency.

A computer software package is being developed to control tme instrumen~ and provide for computer-aided sensor parame­

ter pi'ck-up, the display of the aural bio­ electromagnetic field topography, and its printout in colour.

TREATMENT WITH MULTIPLE

PULSATfNG OEVICE

by Matt Willemse, Ph.D. M.D. (Hom.), Dip. Bot. Med. n fecent issues, NEXUS has published a number of articles on magnetic and electromagnetic (EM) fields, both nat­ ural and man-made, so today it is not difficuh to realise that all life-forms exhibit !EM characteristics and live i.n an electro­ magnetic environment. In fact, the entire universe is a vibratory EM energy field.

Our EM world, however, is changing.

We are being increasingly subjected to a greater number of induced EM fields. !Even Ithose of extremely low energy have been found to influence our bio-energetic systems. [n thjs artide I aim to describe how a knowledge of EM fields can be applied beneficially. First though, a quick review.

Since the industrial revolution, the Earth has lost at least 50 per cent of its magnetic energy, much being absorbed in steel e.g., rail, build(rJgs, cars, etc. Most people are encapsulated within these structures during a major proportion of their daily activities and deprived of natural magnetic absorp­ tion.

Electricity is generated at 50 and 60 cycles per second (depending on country).

Excessive exposure to its surrounding EM fields can be detrimental to our health-as is the electronic pollution caused iby aom­ puter equipment, TV transmissions, AM radiowaves, mobile telephones and the var­ ious home and industrial appliances.

Most footware is made of rubberised or other insulating materials such as plastics, which accordingly deprive the body of its contact with the Earth's magnetic field.

Chemical pollution may be the biggest threat to the environment and mankind. It is in our food cycle via fertiliser, h.erbi­ cides, insecticides, and artificia'~ colouring, flavouring and preservatives. Include the cosmetics and deodorants with which we cover our bodies. Is it any small wonder that our biophysical systems, consta.ntly suffering duress and daily stresses, are hav­ ing great difficulties in coping? EM imbal­ ance is one of the results.

Seventy per cent of the body consists of fluid. Just as a waterfall naturally creates EM energy, so the flow of the blood through the body produces an internal source of EM-field energy.

How does this electromagnetic treatment work? Magnetic energy is one of the strongest fundamental natural forces of the

Universe. On Earth, Nature manufactured the first magnet consisting of lava mineral rock-in particular, iron, commonly known as lodestone.

Since ancient times, magnets have been used in healing. They have been described as having a "mysterious" force.

In 1600, William Gilbert published the first scientific works on magnetic fields.

Most common was the magnetic needle­ suspended either in water OF on a string)­ which always pointed in a fixed! direction: the geographical north and south poles of the compass.

Magnetic forces are exerted through air or through other 'low-magnetic' materiaL such as wood or even muscle or bone struc­ ture.

In 1820, Hans Oersted made the first experiment with an electrical current and a magnetic compass, which can be under­ stood as the "right-hand rule". He estab­ lished that by forming the wire into a loop, the EM field could be strengthened.

Eleven years later, Michael Faraday suc­ ceededl in experimentation with a conduct­ ing wire, enabling it to rotate if placed near a magnetic fieJd. This had the immediate advantage that the field could be turned on and off at any time. It also meant that the strength of the magnetic field could be var­ ied at will.

In 1864, James Maxwell published his mathematical fonnula indicating that light was an electromagnetic wave, and, like radiation energy, travelled at the same speed.

44 • NEXUS

Today, EM energy is used in a wide range of functions from the kitchen to the spaceship. Physicians all over the worild are now recognising the benefits of mag­ netic therapy for various disorders.

Space-age astronauts utilised a bio-mag­ netic frequency of 7.96 cycles per second to encourage sleep and relaxation during flight, and as a stabilising orientation before re-entering the Earth's gravitational pull.

It is also known in biophysics that EM fields can actually control the body's bio­ chemistry. Tberefore, magnetic energy can be used not only for diagnostic purposes and in the early detection of disease, but also for treating bealth problems.

Superconducting Quantum Interference Detectors (SQUIDs) can today determine minute magnetic fields of any living organ­ ism. The human body consists of millions of cells, each cell exhibiting polarity (a positive and negative field pattern). Cells make up the tissucs wbich are grouped together, eventually forming the organs, ligaments and skeletal stf1Jcture. Tis'sucs and organs are characterised by their indi­ vidual cell function, constantly forming and mutating to revitalise the body. Health is an equilibrium or a very delicate balance of the cell's polarity. When death occurs, the SQUID instrument cannot register any readings, as no EM energy-mental or physical-remains.

The Magnetic Field Multiple Pulsating Device has the capacity to alter the biologi­ cal magnetic energy for the better by selecting the exact freq uenc y for a particular purpose.

The multiple pulsating device induces an al ter­ nating current with a wide-spectrum magnetic field, the frequencies of which have proven therapeutic advan­ tages in: • releasing natural opiatcs to ease aches and pain; • boosting the immune system; • increasing tissue repair; • regenerating the cen tral nervous system; • balancing miner­

allevels; • enhancing circulation and digestion with better hidrosis through energising and oxy­ gen exchange.

What about the use of 'ordinary' mag­ nets? The short answer is that any magnet­ ic treatment will have some effect.

Extreme care, however, should be exer­ cised in the application of this form of treatment, especially in the case of chronic and terminally ill persons, as it may stimu­ late growths and tumours when the magnet polarity (north) is applied incorrectly near the affected area. . .....

Some remarkable clinical examples using electromagnetic equipment include: • Arthritis sufferers who were able to controll their discomfort and engage in gar­ dening for the first time in years. An elder­ ly farmer became mobile again after being freedl from stiffness in his knee joints.

• Athletes and sports-injured individuals who recovered much faster than in the past with the use of magnetic field therapy.

• An elderly female patient who was able to forego the use of powerful chemical analgesic drugs, retuming home to use magnetic Itherapy to achieve a quality of life not possible in an unfamiliar environ­ ment. Her final months were spent with her family in her own home.

(The testimonials continue; only lack of space prevents including more. - Ed.) These magnetic field units apply the nat­ ural bio-frequencies and reorganise them after their disruption through ill-health, accident, emotional distress, or chemical, environmental or electronic pollution.

With its high success-rate for accelerat­ ing the healing process, and its high safety and user-friendliness factors, it is a valu­ able device for professional health practi­ tioners or people who want to be more independent with their health regime. {Editor's Comments: Dr Matt Willemse is a consultant to Osmo Sales which mar­ kets the Osmatic Magnetic Field Pulsating Device. He developed the unit with the assistance of an electronics engineer. Matt can also be regarded as the pioneer who introduced electrolytes of oxygen into Australia. He has formulated numer01iS herbal and homoeopathic formulas for prominent pharmaceutical companies as well as validated them with dark-field microscopy.

His practice is in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. (For more information on this device, refer to the advertisement on page 60 of this edi­ tion.))

MUFON·Houston memb.er Vito Saccheri recounts the experience that hooked-him on the possible existence offlying saucers and alien civilisations. His memories, whether altered by time or perspective, clearly changed his outlook on life and may give you pause as well. - HS

n 1979 I was a proiect manager for a privately owned engineering company doing the Venezuelan oil. industry. My counterpart in Venezuela, our client"s chIef engmeer, an Amencan engmeer named Lester Howes, had come to Houston on business.

Les and I had spoken by phone and telex for years (no fax machines back then), but we had never met. We hit it off when he arrived, and after a few days he cO]1(ide,d that he had an ulterior motive in coming to Houston. After asking me to 'keep an open mind, he told me he was both an amateur astronomer and a ufologist and that he wanted my help in obtaining access to secret photos held somewhere inside NASA. I was speechless. When I finished laughing, I realised he was dead serio.us. Some of the guys at work though~ Les was just a little light in the loafers, and others thought he was just plain crazy, but I could see that he was concerned about what I would think of him. After all, we were profes­ sional engin:eers, and he had taken quite a chance with me.

Les showed me a small, paperback book, entitled Somebody Else is on the Moon, writ­ te.n by George H. Leonard. Les lent me the book and I read it overnight. Leonard had come across photos he felt confirmed the presence of a very ancient-and possibly cur­ renL=-civilisation on the Moon. He explained that in 1961, President Kennedy had com­ mitted the USA to rcaching the Moon within a decade, primarily because throughout the 1950s the scientific community had been rocked by observatori'es around the world Which began reporting and later confirmi.ng that "Moon craters" were actually disappearing, right out from under the watchful eyes of their state-of-the-art telescopes! Since the possible ramifications were obvious, the powers-that-be had decided that Uncle Sam had to be the first to reach the Moon.

After arguing futilely with NASA authorities about releasing the photos, Leonard pub­ lished them hims.elf in his book. He felt the taxpayers had a right 410 know what NASA knew, pointing out that despite a nine-year mobilisation effort that had cost billions of dollars, NASA had shut down the entire Moon project after only a few landings. His con­ tention was that we had confirmedl that we were trespassing! The small photos would show little, so he provided hand-drawn sketches to accompany each photo. And he pub­ lished the special NASA identification code-numbers for each picture.

When I finished the book, I called Les and said I was intrigued and would help. The very next day, we made the first trip out to NASA and spent the day taking the guided and self-guided tours. On the second day, we made our move.

We entered the public orientation building and told the receptionist that we wanted to make arrangements to see some Moon pictures. With no clue where to start, she eventual­ ly directed us to her supervisor who was equally 'at a loss. Apparently, no one charged with dealing with the public knew where NASA kept its photos or whether they kept them at all. And no "Photo Records" department showed up on any list.

Wc wcre passed around to at least four other people before someone admitted that NASA hadiloLs of photo.s "somewhere" on the complex, but that the public wasn't permit­ ted to view "unauthorised" photos of any project. That's when we changed our strategy.

L.es blurted out, "Isn't i~ true that NASA is a civilian agency funded by taxpayer money?"

Confusion spread over her face, and I added, "Well, we're two taxpayers, and we're here to see our pictures. Who's got them?"

Before she could recover, we flashed! Leonard's book in her face. I continued, "What's so unauthorised about pictures that have already been iPublished?" From then on, we decided to stay on the offensive at all times.

Reinforcements were called in, and we soon found ourselves having the same conversation with the big boys from administra­ tion. None had seen the book, but, significantly, one had taken the time to confirm that Leonardi was in fact a former NASA scientist at the Jet Propulsion Lab, from what I could gather. This threw them, and they seemed even curious to learn about the book-for after all, the information had been generated by NASA ,in the first place. We settled for a truoe and to return I • the next day. Before Ileaving, however, We

reiterated that these two taxpayers had every

intention of going to the mat with whoever

was ihoiding back 'our photos'.

To make a very long story short, we spent

the next severalF days filling ou~ enough

forms to give a woodpecker a headache. My

office advised me that NASA had called to

confirm my employment history and to

inquire about Les. His hotel advised that

someone had c~lled to confirm that he was

staying there. Obviously the Wheels were

turning. FinaUy, someone called to say we

could see the photos.

We returned to NASA thinking we had finally succeeded. But succes's was not to be so ~asy. We were directed to a Building 30 which had no~ been on the tour and whith didn't eve,11I exist.

Building 30A turned out to be empty, so we walked into Building 30B and found ourselves in the middle of a high-securi­ ty area where an existing mission was being monitored. Realising tha~ we were somewhere we should not have been, we tried to blend in. Failing miserably to do so, we were soon unceremoniously tossed out. Security ,personnel demand­ ed to know how we had passed the civil­ ian sectio,n-and what was this about Moon pictures, taxpayers, and a book about the Moon? We knew we were really in she'ep dip when security not only whisked us out of the building Ibut escorted us off the premises altogether.

The next day, after some scrambling on both sides, officials apologised to us fOT the mix-up. For our part, we insinuated that at least 1,000 photacopies of the Leonard book could rain down on everyone on the space centre's mailing list. We were counting on this bluff to get us past what we cl')nsidered an impasse. It was time for NASA to act. After all, we weren't a couple of underwa­ ter pipe welders from Boise. We were fellow engineers, brothers of the blood!

Finally, some serious discussions transpired. The photo library, we were told, had been relocated off site to the Lunar Landing Observatory directly adjacent to the east NASA property on NASA Road 1. They would be expecting us in nwo more days at 8.00 am.

Two days later, we drove east on NASA 1 past the main entrance of the facility and found a chain-link fence that marked the eastern limit of the property line, expecting to see a building or M.

sign. Nothing but a he.avily wooded area! Driving back and forth along the road, trying to decide whether they had done it to us again, we noticed a narrow dirt road running back into the woods directly along NASA's fence line. Hung on the chain between two small posts was a sign that read simply.: "No Tresp'assing".

Instinct told us this had to be the place. We lowered the chaill! and !drove about three-quarters of a mile down the dirt road which U­ turned back toward the highway. Directly behind the trees and camoutil"aged 'by the woods was our building. There was no num­ ber, only a small plaque near the door that read "Lunar Landin,g Observatory" in half-inch-high leners. Somehow we weren't sur­ prised.

Upon entering, we found ourselves in a small alcov,e~ A large main room buzzing with people was off to the right, and what appeared to be a small Ibroom closet was on the opposite wall.

When we told the reception.ist we wanted' the library, she pointed toward the broom closet which, as it turned out, opened onto a wind­ ing stairway lead1ng down into a dimly ~it underground tunnel. I'm certain it took us back toward the NASA property line.

At the end of the tunnel was a large room where we found ourselves standing in front of a waH-to-wall counter separating us from the lribrarian who was sitting on a stool. ~ seem to remember that his name was Roger. [, He explained that there were at least two mimon photos in the library-everything NASA had ever photographed since year one. Unfortunately, no one could see "random" photos, as time was at,ways short and filing systems complicated. In other words, to see any picture you need its specific code-number.

Roger was surprised that we had all tile numbers (no one had told him about the book). We handed him our list, thinking we had hit pay dirt at last. But after a quick glance, he gave us the bad news: the numbers were meanvngless in Bouston. He explained that for security reasons NASA had split the country into f41ve regions, eacp w~th a duplicate set of records and a different code-number system. Leonard's numbers weren't applicable in this facility. I flsJced where the master list was kept, and. Roger replied at 'langley, Virg,inia. Les and I looked' at each other. We didn't have to say it, but we suspected who that meant.

We huddled in the comer for a few minutes trying to decide whether this was another sta'Hing effort. But we had come too far to give up. We informed Roger that we wante.d to proceed. He said that someone in the NASA complex had the proper forms to start the ball rolling. He just wasn't sure who, since no one had ever requested the photos before. We were the first, he said-at least in Houston.

A few days later Roger called us to come fill out new forms, though there wasn't much they didn't already ,know about us. It took two more days, but our summons fina~ly came. Roger announced that the photos were ready for our inspection. There were, however, strict rules. We were to get three eight-hour busi­ ness days. We were not allowed pens, pencils, paper, calculator, camera or recording devices of any kind. Nor wuld we be Left m',

Naturally, the craters would eventually disappear~an observatJion made by astronomers long before the first Moon landings and, ironically, one that had initiaHy prompted Leonard and other scientists of the 1950s to analyse early Moon photos.

It's no wonder that in the early days, only military pilots were qualified to be astronauts. These were the guys with the real right stuff: they knew how to keep their mou~hs shut!

When I met Moon photo researcher Marvin Czarnik in [Aprit] 1995, I learned that he had helped develop some of the technical systems used at NASA. Besides the length of time of instant replay, he knew that code-words like "alpha" and "bravo" referred to special switching stations around the country that 'switch' broadcast reception away from Houston and Mission Control to missile bases in the north-west pDrtion of the country, as they were equipped with "secured communications eqUipment".

UFO SIG'HTINGS BY ASTRONAUTS Major GOlldon Cooper Major Cooper was one of the original Mercury astronauts, and the last American to fly in space alone. On 15 May 1963 he shot into space in a Mercury capsule for a 22-orbit journey around the world!. During the final orbit, Major Gordon Cooper told the tracking station at Muchea (near Perth, Western Austraha) that he could see a glowing, greenish object ahead of him

50 â&#x20AC;˘ NEXUS

quickly approaching his capsule. The UFO was real -and solid, because it was picked up by Muchea's tracking rad.aJ. Cooper's sighting was reported by the National Broadcast Company which was covering the flight step by step; but when Cooper landed, reporters were told that they would not be allowed to question him about the UFO sighting.

Major Cooper was a firm believer in UFOs. Over ten years earlier, in 1951, he had sighted UFOs while piloting an F-86 Sabre jet over West Germany. They were metallic, saucer-shaped discs at considerable aHitude and could outmanoeu vre all the American fighter planes.

Major Cooper also testified before the United Nations: "I believe that these ex tra - terres trial vehicles and their crews are visiting this p~anet from other planets. Most astronauts were reluctant to discuss UFOs... I did have occasion in 1951 to have two days of observation of many flights of them, of different sizes, flying in fighter formation, generally from east to west over Europe."

And according to a

taped interview by 1. L. Ferrando, Major Cooper said: "For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists in astronautics. I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us. And Ithere are thousands of witness reports and a quantity of documents to prove this, but nobody wants to make tpem publ1c. Why? Because authority is afraid that J}COple may trunk of God-knows-what kind! of hOl1iible invaders. So the password still is: 'We have to avoid panic by all means.'

"I was furthermore a witness to an extraordinary phenomenon, here on this planet Earth. [t happened a few months ago in Florida. There I saw with my own eyes a defined area of ground being consumed by flames, with four indentations left by a flying object which had descended in the middle of a field. Beings had left the craft (there were other traces to prove this).

They seemed to have studied topography; ,they had collected soil samples; and, evenItually, they retUrned to where they had come from, disappear,~ng at enormous speed. I happen to know that authority did just about everything to keep this incident from the press and TV, in fear of a panicky reaction from the public."

Ed White and James McDivitt In June 1965, astronauts Ed White (the first American to walk in space) and James OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 1995

THE TWILIGHT ZONE McDivitt were passing over Hawaii in a Gemini spacecraft whe.lli they saw a weirdlooking metallic object. The UFO had long arms sticking out oJ it. McDivitt took pictures with a cine-camera. Those. !pictures have never been released.

James lovell and Frank Borman In December ~965, Gemini astronauts James Loveil and Rrank Borman also saw a UFO during the second orbit of their record-breaking 14-day flight.

Bonnan reported that be saw an unidentified spacecraftt some distance from their capsule. Gemini Control at Cape Kennedy told him that he was seeing the Hnal stage of their own Titan booster rocket. BOfman confirmed that he could see the booster rocket all right, but that he could also see something completely different.

This communication was reported during James Loven's flight on Gemini 7: Lovell: "Bogey at I0 o'clock high."

Capcom: "This is Houston. Say again, Seven."

Lovell: "Said we have a bogey at 10 o'clock high."

Capcom: "Gemini 7, is that the booster or is that an actua~ sighting?"

Lovell: "We have several actual sightings."

Capcom: "Estimated distance or size?"

Lovell: "We also have the booster in sight."

Neil Armstrong and "Buzz" Aldrin According to NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong, the aliens hilVe a base on the Moon and told us in no uncertain ,tenns to get off and stay off the Moon.

According to hitherto-unconfirmed reports, both Neil Armstrong andl Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after that historic landing on the Moon in Apollo 11 on 21 July 1969. I remember hearing one of the astronauts refer to a "light" in or on a crater during the television transmission, followed by a request from Mission Control for further infonnation. Nothing more was heard.

According to a fonner NASA employee, Otto Binder, unnamed rad[o hams with their own VHF receiving faci'lWes that bypassed NASA's broadcasting outlets picked up the following exchange: NASA: "What's there? Mission Control calling Apollo 11."

Apollo 11: "These 'babies' are huge, sir!

Enormous! Oh my God! You wouldn't believe it! I'm telling you there are other OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 1995

spacecraft out there, lined up on the far side of the crater edge! They're on the Moon, watching us!"

A certain professor, who wished to remain anonymous, was engaged in a discussion with Neil Armstrong during a NASA symposium.

Professor: "What really happened out there with Apollo 117" Armstrong: "It was incredible. Of course, we had always known there was a possibility; the fact is, we were warned off! (by the aliens). There was never any question then of a space station or a Moon city."

Professor: "How do you mean, 'warned off?"

Armstrong: "I can't go into details, except to say Ithat their ships were far superior to ours, both in size and technology.

Boy, were they bjg-and menacing! No, there is no question of a space station."

Professor: "But NASA had other missions after Apollo 117" Armstrong: "Naturally, NASA was committed at that time, and couldn't risk panic on Earth. But it realty was a quick scoop and back again."

According to a Dr Vladimir Azhazha: "Neil Armstrong relayed the message to Mission Control that two large, mysterious objects were watching them after having Janded near the moon module. But this message was never he'ard by the public~ because NASA censored it."

According to a Dr Aleksandr Kasantsev, Buzz Aldrin took colour movie film of the UFOs from inside the module, and continued filming them after he and Annstrong went outside.

Armstrong confirmed that the story was true but refused to go into further detail, beyond admitting that the CIA was behind the cover-up.

thou'ght the objec-t was a kite, then I realised that no kite is gonna fly that high.

"As I got closer it looked like a weather balloon, grey and about three feet in diameter. But as soon as I got belllnd the darn thing it didn't look like a Iballoon anymore.

It looked like a saucer, a disc.

"About the same time, I realised that it was suddenly going away from 'me-and there I was, running at abolit 300 miles per hou.. 1 tracked it for a little way, and then all of a sudden tbe damn thing just took off.

It pulled about a 45-degree climbing-tum, accelerated and just flat disappeared."

NASA Pilot Joseph A. Walker On 11 May ~962, NASA pilot Joseph Walker said that one of his 'tasks was to detect UFOs during his X-IS flights. He had filmed five or six UFOs during his record-breaking fifty-mile-high flighn in April 1962. It was the second time he had filmed UFOs in flight.

During a lecture at the Second National Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Sp-ace Research in Seattle, Washington, he said: "I don't feel like speculating about them.

All I know is what appeared on the film which was developed after the flight."

To date, none of those films has been released! to the public for viewing.

Major Robert White On 17 July 1962, Major Robert White reported a UFO during his flight of an XIS. Major White reported: "I have no idea what it could be. It was greyish in colouF and about thirty Ito forty feet away."

Donald Slayton Donald Slayton, a Mercury astronaut, reveaied in an interv,iew that he had seen UFOs in ~,951: "I was testing a P- 51 fighter in Minneapolis when I spotted this object. I was at ab¡ou.t 10,000 feet on a nice, brignt, sunny afternoon. I NEXUS â&#x20AC;˘ 51

THE TWILIGHT ZONE Then, according to a Time Magazine article, Major White exclaimed over the radio: "There are things out there! There absolutely are!"

Commander Eugene Cernan Eugene Cernan was Commander of

Apollo 17. In a Los A ngeles Times article in 1973, he said about UFOs: "I've been asked (about UFOs) and I've said publicly I thought they (UFOs) were somebody else, some other civilisation."

NASA's Maurice Chatelain In 1979, Maurice Chatelain, former Chief of NASA Communications Systems, confirmed that Armstrong had indeed reported seeing two UFOs on the rim of a crater. Chatelain believes that some UFOs may come from our own solar system, specifically Titan. "The encounter was common knowledge in NASA, but nobody has talked about it until now.. "... all Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin-flying saucers, or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. Every time it occurred, the astronauts infonned Mission Control, who then ordered absolute silence.

"I think that Walter Schirra aboard Mercury 8 was the first of the astronauts to use the code-name Santa Claus to indicate the presence of flying saucers next to space capsules. However, his announcements were barely noticed by the general public.

"It was a little different when James Lovell, on board the Apollo 8 command module, came out from behind the Moon

and said for everybody to hear: 'Please be informed that therc is a Santa Claus.' Even though this happened on Christmas Day 1968, many people sensed a hidden meaning in those words."

The rumours persist. NASA may well be a civilian agency, but many of its programs are funded by the defence budget, and most of the astronauts are subject to military security regulations-apart from the fact that the National Security Agency screens all films and probably radio communications as well.

We have the statements by Otto Binder, Dr Garry Henderson and Maurice Chatelain that the astronauts were under strict orders not to discuss their sightings.

And Gordon Cooper has testified to a United Nations committee that one of the astronauts actually witnessed a UFO on the ground.

If there is no secrecy, why has this sighting not been made public?

NASA's Scott Carpenter "At no time when the astronauts were in space were they alone. There was a constant surveillance by UFOs."

Most Western newspapers carried scant notice of an event that made big news 'in South America. The following is a compilation of the various bits and pieces picked up by NEXUS. Close to midnight on Monday 31 st July 1995, the pilot and flight crew of an Aerolineas Argentinas passenger jet observed a luminous object approaching their craft as the jet began its landing approach to Bariloche airport, appt:ox. 870 miles from Buenos Aires. . The brightly lit object approached the jet, flashing and changing colours as it came closer. According to some reports, the pilot, Jorge Polanco, feared a collision and took evasive manoeuvres. The bright object then flew in formation with the plane, at a distance of approx. 100 metres.

Most of the estimated 103 passengers also saw the object, with many describing it as a "spaceship" as big as the aircraft, with multi-coloured flashing lights.

Observers in the airport control tower, and military officials including Air Force Major Jorge Oviedo, also saw the object.

As the plane and UFO approached the airport, all electrical power at the airport and in much of the nearby city of San Carlos de Bariloche failed, causing a blackout. With the runway lights out, the pilot of the jet aborted his landing approach and brought the plane around for a second attempt, which succeeded.

Meanwhile, witnesses observed the UFO to climb straight up and out of sight at very high speed.

While British and European media gave the story a small mention, Australian and American media did not report it as far as we're aware.

HOLY GRAIL QUEST QUASHED? The Holy Grail, the legendary cup llsed

by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper, and in which some of Christ's blood was supposedly saved at the Crucifixion, has been found-twice!

The first claim for the elusive Grail cup's appearance was made by psychologist!

Arthurian researcher Dr Graham Phillips who claims the five-centimetre-high green onyx challice was smuggled into Britain before the sacking of Rome, and became the property of a local king, the Bear (whom he identifies as King Arthur), who lived around Shrewsbury.

To cut a long story short, it eventually turned up in an attic junk box in a Victorian house near Coventry. Dr Phillips claims to have enough documentary evidence to support the Grail cup's existence and has produced a book on the subject.

Within a week of Dr Phillips' announcement, the mysterious Order of the Kn'ights Templar announced from its Rome headquarters that it is in possession of the one true Holy Grail-a mottled green glass vase, 9 em tall, with base circumference of 7 em.

Mr Rocco Zingaro di San Ferdinando, the Templars' Grand Master in Italy, said, "We have unveiJled t'he true Holy Grail partly in response to last week's false claim that the grail had been found in Britain, and partly because as mankind approaches the year 2000 it is in need of the Grail for its salvation. " FIe claims thatt the relic was recovered by Italian academic and Templar, Antonio Ambrosini, from a Coptic monastery in Egypt and given to the order about 20 years ago. While the cup had not been subjected to scientific tests on its age or origin, in is said Ito have speeial qualities !'lidden in its dimensions.

Appa.ently at least three churches in Europe also claim to house the true grail, OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 1995

and countless researchers through history have claimed to nave discovered the relic.

Whether found or not, the quest will no doubt continue, for tbe legend seems to have a Me of its own.

world to wash its sins away before the end of this millennium. To sceptics, they are a Itr,ick; and Ito cynics, a Vatican plot to win lback support for the Christian Democrat Party!

That hasn't stopped the Vatican from setting up a task force of scientists, doctors, psychiatrists and X-ray specialisJs to investigate some of these claims.

Jenny Randles, the noted British researcher of unexplained phenomena, has produced this eminently readable guide to help us make sense oHhe UFO mystery. Originally published in the UK in 1993 as Aliens, this US edition will ensure her ,investigations receive a wider audience.

Randles begins with a potted history of alien contact, and features some landmark cases but with a prime focus on the 1950s onwards. She describes the various types of extraterrestrials reported, including phantasms, shape-shifters, greys and humanoids, and some classic sightings of these forms and their craft from around the world.

From the similarities of UFOIET sightings, technology and abduction reports in various geographical locations, Randles reckons

there is enough circumstantial evidence defying rational explanation to force her to surmise that something's going on.

THE ORIGINAL JESUS The Buddhist Sources of Christianity

by Elmar R Gruber & Holger Kersten Published by Element Books Ltd (1995), Shaftesbury, Dorset, UK [ISBN 1-'85230-628-9 (280pp h!b) Price: AUIU$49.95; STGf16.99; USD$29.95 Available: Australia-Distributed by Jacaranda Wiley Ltd, ph (02) 805 1100; Sydney Esoteric Bookshop, ph (02) 212 2225, fax (02) 2ij 2 2448; UK-tlement Books Ltd, ph (01747) 85 1339; USAElement Books, Inc., Rockport, MA. This latest title from the authors of The Jesus Conspiracy contains more startling revelations about the life of Jesus Christ. It offers convincing, weU-ceferenced evidence of extensive Buddhist ,int1uenc.es on Jesus, his life and teachings.

Authors Gruber and Kersten claim that Jesus was brought up by the TherapeutaeTheravada Buddhist missionaries to the bibJ.icallands, based near Alexandria-and that his spiritual development was continued by the Buddhist-influenced Essenes and Mandaeans.

As further support of their claim, the authors explore tthe close parallels between early Buddhist texts and the so-called "Q" material-aphorisms recorded in the Gospels

of Matthew and Luke and considered to be directly attributable to Jesus.

The Original Jesus traces the historical .' exchanges between the biblical lands and Indian culture~a trade not just in goods but ill mythology, religious ideas and philosophical systems. The facts surrounding the authors' portrait of a compassionate, loving, wise Christ are at odds with what has become Christianity according to the Church, so this work is controversial yet compelling reading.

According to British ufologist NIbert Budden, our concepts of what constitutes alien intelligence need to be revised. After many years of investigating reports of UFO sightings and close encounters, he presents his case for an hypothesis of "electro-staging" to explain many (but not all) of the characteristics of the experience.

Drawing upon Michael Persinger's landmark mind research, as well as some famous case studies, Budden redirects the UFO mystery towards an exploration of the interaction between human unconsciousness, or the

If human states of mind can be altered by natural changes in the Earth's magnetic fields as well as by the application of controlled frequencies for specific effects (a la Persinger), Budden theorises that in these days of global electromagnetic pollution the alien experience may be a side-effect of our own ever-expanding technology. Indeed, he claims that many psychic phenomena seem to be a function of such interaction.

Originally a UFO believer, Albert Budden was a science-based sceptic until becoming disenchanted with the tendency to dismiss the unknown without tackling the unanswered questions. He claims his hypothesis is the result of a logical progression.

Budden's thesis is a controversial approach that can't be ignored in any serious study of ufology or the unexplained.

remarkable collection of diagrams illustrating the harmonies of planetary proportions that we can't help but conclude there is an organising principle at work in the cosmos.

This is a subject many call "sacred geometry", because the same mathematical and geometric ratios occur in all our ancient mystery sites such as Stonehenge, the Gre-at Pyramid of Gizeh, as well as mcdiaeval cathedrals and even some modem churches.

There is also a fascinating link Ibetween this geometry and many of the IUnhoaxed "crop circles", or formations as they should be called. (See story this issue.)

A Book of Coincidence is an exceHent, well-illustrated and clearly presented book for anyone wishing to explore the many angles of sacred geometry (pun intended!).

This beautifully produced book, by Michael Hesemann, Editor of the German UFO periodical, Magazin 2000, chronicles two mysteries-crop circles and UFOs-and speculates on their cosmic connections.

, Many observers have seen UFOs and unexplained phenomena near crop circle formations all around' the world. Having spent . several years ,researching crop circles in England, Germany, the USA and Canada, Hesemann believes there are features common to both UFOs and crop circles, andl concludes that ETs have had a part in initiating crop circles over the last 30 years..

Hesemann includes an inspiring analysis of crop circle mathematics and symbologies and their similarities with glyphs and designs from ancient and indigenous civilisations worldwide. DraWling upon evidence-of ancient ET contact with Earth, Hesemann theorises on crop circles and their cosmic meaning and message.

The Cosmic Connection is richly illustrated with full-colour photos of crop circles (up to 1994) and key sacred sites as well as some classic UFO pics. Fascinating material and an intriguing pcrspective.

tence is a distillation of ageless wisdom based upon direct experience.

The authors spent many years exploring the mysteries ofhfe and consciousness amidst the timeless wird'erness of the Great Dividing Range, New South Wales. On their ~ourney' they arrived at states of realisation of absolute experience-the Totality-which utterly changed their reality viewpoints.

This handbook is the result of their combined journey beyond the known, with the Totality as the ultimate reference point in life, living and beyond. Once discovered, there ,is a realisation that there is no other way to be. Fortnum and Bollard show how close this realisation is for all, and that, as we're all unique, our experiences are matchless and unpredictable in the Totahty.

Enchiridion to the Totality is for those committed to finding absolu.te freedom, and for those who have merely an inkling of the possibilities and are cunous to understand more. But the pilgrim must to come Ito terms with no.tions suc.h as duality, suffering and belief-system enslavement to execute tile appropriate reality shifts!

Projekt UFO is a fascinating account of the history of UFOs, but from the perspective of their being man-made, not extraterrestriar ' craf1. .

Author W. A. Harbinson submits evidence of Ailied pilots 'being tailed by strange 'fireballs' during night missions over Germany in 1945; of highly advancedl German science missions being secretly established underground in Antarctica in the final years of World War II; and of German prototype flying saucers !being constructed in Canada in the early I 950s-from where the UFO f1ypast over Washington, D.C., in 1952 may well have originated.

Top-secret US-based operations from the 1950s are touched upon with anecdotal and archival photographic back-up.

Of particular interest is Harbinson speculation about Antarctic flyin,g saucer activity noted during US Navy Rear Admiral Harley Byrd's 1947 4,OOO-man Antarctic expedition, code-named Operation Highjump.

Forget ETs and ,invasions from space: the terrestrial scenarios Harbinson speculates upon are already frightening enough!

REVIIEWS Uni. of Califomi a, Berkeley), well-knownand criticised=for his challenge of the HIVIAIDS hypothesis.

The material is drawn also from Dr Duesberg's pUblished papers and' from crossexamination between Duesberg .and Dr John Yiamouyiannis (who does disagree on certain points).

Dr Duesberg claims that all cases of AIDS (except for haemophiliacs1 can be explained by use of recreational drugs and DNAinhibiting chemotherapy, e.g., AZT and ddI. Once found to be HIV -positive, people are given immunity-suppressing drugs and ultimately get AIDS. Yiamouyiannis' view is that AIDS diseases-including cancer, weight loss and dementia-are the result of immune-deficiency and that an HIV-positive response can be an indication of a pre-existing immunedeficiency.

TIlis book aims to demystify the AIDS mystery and.explain the AIDS conspiracy, but also gives common-sense advice on how to avoid! AIDS if you arc HIV-positive. It has an extensive reference bibliography covering AIlDS/HIV-related literature for interested researchers.

James P. Hilton is a former US paramedic turned civil rights campaigner, writer, lobbyist, hunger-striker and whistle-blower. In this, his tifth book, he focuses on corruption in the medical/seientifie/pharmaceutical/ business worlds within the wider context of our diminishing personal freedoms.

Hilton draws on a multitude of instances where big business and high technology interests have been poisoning us for decades-e.g., contaminating our water supOCTOBER - NOVEMBER 1995

plies with fluoride and chlorine-thus limiting our potentia11 as effective human beings and even causing untimely dcath.

HilLon argues that we cannot live in a 'free society' if individuals cannot escape the medical/scientific and government intervention in th.eir lives. WhiLe warning us about the increasing levels of surveillancc in our daily living, Hilton encourages us to speak ou~ if we want to save what's left of our freedoms.

He includes an appendix with tips on how to write effective letters and press releascs, organise petitions/demonstrations/hunger strikeslboycotts, and gives a few pointers on whistle-blowing and non-violent civil disobedence. It may not ibe too late after all.

Bio-oxidative therapies have been used cxtensively in Europe for ovcr 30 yean to treat a varicty of medical conditions including asthma, cancer, heart diseasc and AIDS-yet medical practitioQcrs and suppliers in the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and more, have been raided, jailed without tlial, prosecuted, tined huge amounts of money, stripped of all assets and worse.

Bio-oxidative therapies-such as infusion of ozone, intake of hydrogen peroxide-and their benefits have been ignored or slandered by the medicaVscientific establishment and the media. Yet despite the grudging recognition that most disease states are accompanied by cellular oxygen starvation, the bureaucracy is doing its best to eradicate these therapies. The crux of the matter is tha~ oxygen and ozone can't be patented.

In Oxygen Healing Therapies, holistic therapist/author Nathaniel Altman cites documented case study evidence from Germany, Cuba, Russia, France and the US. He places bio-oxidative therapies in the context of holistic health, showing ,lilOW oxygen's therapeutic benefits can be enhanced with right attention to diet, exercise, speci fie mineraVherbal supplements, and even visualisation, for optimum health and vitality.

Altman has included a useful resource/reference section for health consumers wanting to better infonn themselves about their healthcare options. Worth looking into!

Warning: This book is not just about "Carlos the Jackal"!

David Yallop is the also the author of the well-read book, In God's Name, which explores the death of a recent Pope in terms of assassination, instead! of death by natural causes. As such, Yallop has earned a welldeserved reputation as a persistent and It'horough researcher acrOS$ the world.

Drawing on his contacts in the shadowy field of intelligence and politics, David Yallop has compiled an amazing book 00 the p'olitics aod dynamics of global terrorism and the Middle East.

Be warned, though: you willb not find the usual shallow research of black-and-white goodies and baddies.

Tbis' book will shock you-aDd, by the way, it ,is an excellent and gripping read. It ranks in readability. up there with the best fictional spy dramas, des.pite being a non-fictionlIDook.

1i'his is going Ito be a controversial book, especially in the UK. For readers outside of the UK, David Icke is an extremely wellknown ex-TV sports presenter-cum-highprofile greenie. A couple of years ago he wrote a book, The Robots' Rebellion, which is essentially a conspiracy history of the world bot with a spiritual undertone.

In that book, Icke made reference to the notorious 'Protocols of the Elders ofZion, and, boy, did the hatchets fly! If you read the so-called left-wing press in the UK, David Icke is now a neo-facist right-wing extremist because of that book. David also plugs NEXUS Magazine during his speaking tours, Which has also earned us the de facio right-wing-extremist tag in some circles.

David has d'rawn upon many obscure books and magazines (like NEXUS) to expose an enormous web of interconnected international manipulation, with the same key people and organisations popping up repeatedly. To NEXUS reade'rs this is not a new concept, although I am sure many of the details in the book will be ncw to many. Again, there is an overalU spiritual, non-.dogmatic undertone that clearliy shows where the autl'ior is coming from.

Thus there is no hate or anger at the gross ,injustices perpetuated on the m.asses by the few over the centuries. Instead, .there is a iJevel of understanding that stems from the heart of humanity.

Brent Chase of the Navajo nation on native flute, he has produced an exceptional musical creation. }couId hear this over and over and not tire of the gutsy, earthy sounds of fiute and percussion. Highly recommended.

and traditional style. Hidden Waters/Sacred Ground combines Sophia's extraordinarily poweIfuI, golden voice with keyboards, zither, bamboo flute, violin and tambouras in an album that's become a classic of inspirational music.

Fluoridation: Mind Control of the Masses? -

Continul'd from page 20

Some of the hazardous side-effects given in the medical hterature for fluorinated anaesthetics are diHicult to separate from tlhose effects intended to induce a hopefully controHable unconscious state. For example, under "toxic effects" are listed "respiratory depression", "depressant action on the cardiovascular system", "bradycardia and profound hypotension" (or slowing pulse and drop in blood pressure), "hepatic dlysfunction" (or liver damage), "Halothane blocks the transmission of nerve impulses rhrough ganglia" (or central nervous system inhibition), and "cardiac arrest" (or death).

In other words, all Glf the anti-cholinergic effects variously in tended or variously inherent are induced by the fluorinated propellants, nuorinated pharmaceuticals and/or fluorinated tranquillisers and fluorinated exterminators.

So far, these 'data' pages illustrate how fluorine and fLuorination have !been sold, packaged and/or prescribed for both public and professional credibility on 'health' grounds. The finaJ~ page deals with the same halogen as it really is, really was and always wm 'be, and as it is employed in

OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 1995

those products listed. It is one of the deadliest, multi-functional and insidious poisons known to mankind.

It is significant, in the context of deliberate government mind-control and physical! chemical intervention, to note that in Australia the hazardous f1uor,inated antimetabolic agents and anti-cholinerg,ic agents enjGly federal and state government approval and subsidised distribution, whilst the safe nutritional substances, vitally necessary to combat and repaFr systemic chronic toxic ,injury wlfOught by the 'free drugs', are available only at considerable cost to the victim. Furthermore, the same bureaucracy that approved the 'killers' has sought to restriC'~ public access to thc remediaJf suppLemcnts. Some local cGluncils even infringe the laws of medical prescription and issue free sodium fluoride tablets for dosing of childrcn without any warning, much less any advice on antidotes.

And those same government instrumentalities and ministerial 'heads' that oppose the ready availability of nutritional soppfements are the same ministers and public servants who lic, cheat, defraud, defame, blackmail and coerce to increase the distribution or compcl the ingestion of fluorides

and fluoridc-bearJing products; the same as those who, in defiance of the Australian Constitution (Section. 51 [xxiiiA]), legis~at­ ed to have the chemical domped into our drinking water supplies.

To sum up the above, the killer drugs are approved, eocouraged or enforced and subsidised, while the vital remedial nutrients and metabolites {rendered necessary by the 'free' hazardous drugs) are not subsidised but availability is officially discouraged and obstructed.

FLUORINATED EXTERMINATORS Fluoridated Death (The ultimate: in mind and bebaviour control) - As with tranquillisers and anae'sthetics, chemical warfare gases are halogenated.

Riot-control gases, tear gas or lacrimators employ either chlorine (chlorinated, e.g., mace) or bromine (brominatcd) as halogenators, but the lethal German-developed (I. G. Farben) Inerve gases Soman and Sarin are both fluorinatcd 'and replace.d the e.arlier chlorinated Tabun for spced and efficacy in killing the cnemy by their immediate anticholinergic agency.

I-SARIN: Isopropyl methy1phosphonofluoridate 2-S0MAN: Pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate.

The almost immed'iate death caused by exposure to nerve gases is a result of instantaneous 'blocking' of cata'lysis and nerve action by the ffuorinated gas, by acute anti-cholinergic agency (enzymatic 'blocking') and consequent cessation of heart and lung function.

Induded here ate two medical fluorinated compounds called: 3-DYFLOS (Di-isopropyl fluorophosphate): Designed to treat, inter alia, the eye disease of glaucoma, it is described in the literature as an "irre versitle cholinesterase inhibitor [anti-cholinergic agent] and the toxic effects may be prolonged. Systemic toxicity occurs after inhalation of the vapour."

4-FLUOROURACIL: Uracil is an essential human metabolite. It ~s fluorinated in a 'last resort' attempt to control ,the growth and/or destroy cancer cells thmugh enzyme (DNA and RNA) 'blocking' activity. "The toxic effects are severe and some-

times fataL" It is often paradoxical in action andl actually provokes cancer. Sideeffects, all severe and' numerous, are Ehose as'sociated with other fluorinated anticholinergic agents set out previously.

The physiological consequences attending this deliberate fluorinatio~n of a human metabolite illustrates the deadly peril of any fluorination process but, in particular, the fluorination of a vital metabolite (rendering it anti-metabolic in action), human electrolyte or essential nutrient such as water.

5-FlUOROACETAMIDE (Compound 1081): Anothe.r instance of a vLtal metabolite, 'acetamide' being converted (halogenated) to a potent anti-metabolite by fluorination.

In Britain, this product, a close chemical cousin to Ehe stuff used to fluorinate water supplies and toothpastes, etc., "is restricted to the extermination of rats ,in ships and sewers".

6-HYDROFLUOROSILICIC ACID (fluorosilicic acid, hydrofluoric acid): A toxic 'waste product' of the fertiliser industry, it is now used for fluoridation of drinking water.

To quote from medical literature,

"Warning: Inhalation Hazard. Inhalation of hydrolluorosilicic acid from soaked cot,ton clothing could cause irreversible lung damage in one minute" due to anti-cholinergic acti vity.

7-S0DIUM FLUORIDE: A 'waste product' of the aluminium industry and used in fluoridation of drinking water, this hazardous intractable garbage has become, by dint of promotion and sly public re-education, the active ingredient in fluorinated pesticides, fungicides, nematocides, rodenticides, anaesthetics, tranquillisers, fluorinated medications (pharmaceuticals), a number of industrial and domestit:- products, fluorinated dental gels, rinses and toothpastes.

In other words, sodium fluoride is so much a part of multibillion-dollar industrial and pharmaceutical income that any withdrawal for any reason by the promoters, the fi!tuoridationists or by anyone who has supported them for whatever purpose is impossible on a fiinancial basis, embarrassing on a reputation basis, and unthinkable on a legal basis.

8-S0DIUM FLUOROACETATE (Compound 1080, as No.5 above): This seems to be the preferred 'exterminator' for

- Fluoridation: Mind Control of the Masses? rodents, etc., on the proclaimed grounds that it is slightly less hazardo\is for numans. Death by 1080 will take a little longer and be slightly less painful than death by 108\. It will, however, be no less permanent.

9-S0DIUM SILICOFLUORIDE: This waste product of the fertiliser industry is used in fluoridation of drinking water. By international law it must be removed from fertiliser so that pastures, c.rops, sheep and cattle will not be harmed!. That it is then sold for disposal through the colltmunity kidneys is not a matter of international concern. Until this more profitable use was found, it was used almost exclusively as an insecticide and rodenticide-ani exterminator.

Whik this thesis is directed at the 'grass roots' where people are most likely to be affected (as a result of being screened from the truth), there will be some who, retaining tthe foolish Ibut imp1lanted 'reference complex', will need to verify the content.

This will be a simple matter for ~heir own or public hbrary sources without biased prompting by >the author.

That said, the author acknowledges the considerable vaJ'ue of the following for evi-

OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 1995

dential support of this thesis: • The Extra Phannacopoeia, Martindale, editions nos. 25 and 27 • Encyclopaedia Britannica, ed. no. 15.

• The Unseen Hand, by Ralph Epperson.

• The Case Against Fluoridation, by Lee Hardy • Operation Mind Control, by WaHer Bowart • World Without Cancer, by G. Edward Griffin • The Crime and Punishment of I. G. Farben, by Joseph Borkin • Certain unrefuted, unchallenged correspondence, allegations and scienttific papers by tne author.

EPILOGUE Since it was the parliamentary activities of Harley Rivers Dickinson, Member for South Barwon (Victoria), that prom,pted the research that led to writing of this thesis, it is fitting that the epilogue shoul'd refer to more representational work on the same subject (fluoridanion of water suppli.es) by the same Member in the same Parliament.

In February 1983, Harley Dickinson placed two "questions on notice" to >the

then Minister for Health, T. Roper, on behalf of his Geelong district constituents.

The first question was in 10 part!> and Ithe second in eight parts, affordling some excuse for delay in preparing comprehensive answers. .

The questions were answered and recorded in Hansard of 7 April 1988 by the now-displaced T. Roper, on behalf of the present Minister for Health, D.' White, more tban five years after the asking-a period of waiting intolerable in a health matter, even were the ques~ions answered in a generally responsible fashion, which they certainly were not. _- .

Without going into the detail of questions and answers, having !pointed out the extreme and perilous lassitude of the (Victorian) State Government, suffice it to remark that the answers varied from patent falsehood to inadvertent exposure of ministerial fraud; from the repeated quoting of proven fraudulent 'evidence' to accurate but selected part-quotations of literature evidence; from admissions of impropriety by the Victorian bureaucracy to baseless assertions.

CONCLUSION This story is full of overlapping, interwoven, interlocking circumstance beyond the statistical or reasonable bounds of chance or coincidence. Pursuing each facet, each tortuous avenue from "The Dickinson Statement" as a starting point will confound and dumbfound the pursuer with still more mind-boggling information.

The histories of Ceci1 Rhodes, Rhodes Scholarships and its recipients, the Fabian Society, the Bilderbergers, the US Federal Reserve, the Illuminati, international banking, the House of Rothschild, and General Aniline and Film, are just a few of the 'av-enues' to be explored that will make y<mr hair 'stand on end'!
